Is there something I can do to troubleshoot the issue on Windows XP without admin rights? The Windows flasher at http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php requires admin privs to install.
My advice is for you to try and use someone elses computer maybe a parents or a mates??. As for work i doubt you'd be able to use the work desktop abnd get away with it. Unless your in a secluded area of course. If you know what your doing and how to flash you'd beable to get throught the whole process in about 10 mins. But you have to be super stealth like 007 lol.
