Thanks. It's downloaded and installed the latest update on it (4.2 e). My off light is still red though.
I've heard that download can take a while but I've been lucky so far. Even BBC iplayer was rapid and the interface is far quicker than via VM.
The problem seems to be that it only recognises up to flash 7. I haven't tried a keyboard with it. My intention was to have the kids favourite sites saved for them just to click on.
