Hi there GoingCrazy and welcome to the forums

Glad to hear things seem to be going ok. Hopefully you'll have no issues at all but you know where we are if you do

Your VM explanation makes perfect sense. I just KNEW there was a reason why it worked that way :lol: Your method of putting together windows machines splitting the main drive into separate partitions for swap and temp is a genius idea :clap: Seriously.

I've installed OpenELEC on them and they work like a charm. At some point I'll add some extra pages to the website but they'r...

Ian.

Thanks for your suggestion

Ian.

Hi there, thanks for the heads up.
