Hi Gavin,

The first suggestion didnt do anything new. However your second  
suggestion gave a lot more information, as I have no way to copy and  
paste the details I had to resort to a rather odd method of getting  
the details, I took a picture of the screen with a digital camera  
(crude, but the only way I could think of),

The image can be seen here:
