Thanks WandW, I've already thrown in the towel 3 times! 

Everything that could go wrong did..(.Using Win 7 Pro) wouldn't recognise my serial number/flash wouldn't load through chrome, couldn't download the updates...but I  got though those hiccups and so far Ihave managed a very nice render of boxes and balls;)

Yet to tackle runtimes but think I'll have a break.

...although I did go to the content tab and noticed unzip downloads, and thought this looks too easy...so I did...mmm..now  they're nowhere to be found, guess I'll have to address this later.

Oh joy...can't wait to have this sorted to play around;)
