Hi Bob, I'm honoured you've taken the time to forward me that link. The short answer is that I have indeed tried that build over the last few days, but I'm desperate, so as a long answer, I'll do it now and log all my info bellow.
I've researched this problem thoroughly despite my limited knowledge, and would really appreciate any tips you could give me.

As you can see I've been doing a lot of research. If you or anyone else on the list have any insight, I'd love to hear from you.
