ha!
maybe bud, i'm not sure, it may need activated in more than one place.
i did notice an option to automatically reconfigure retrofitted equipment, enable it through that option and that'd be it i imagine.
i did other things - like enable automatic rear wiper when reversing and front wipers are active, inverted the display so it's orange with black text, and other stuff that i've forgotten about.

aye just inverts the MFD, not sure on it yet as it comes across a bit bright in the dark. but i got it to activate my mux alarm which it has done splendidly 
why don't you get a decent partitioning tool, and take about 8GB of your hard drive aside to make a new partition and install XP on it, making it a dual booting laptop?

i haven't done anything like that for years, but a tool like 'partition magic' (or whatever the equivalent these days is!) would let you take a portion of unused space, make it a partition and set it as active/bootable.
then run XP setup and point it to the new drive letter you just made... H: or whatever.
if you do that, mind back up your files...just in case!
when all is done, you'd have the option at startup to select what windows you want to boot from.

You can partition the HD through the set-up when installing a new OS. I'll be dual booting with Windows 7 and XP.
Will report on Saturday on how the cruise control install and set-up goes.

Little update from me:
I have a Cruise Control Stalk, picked one up for £30 which i'm happy with.
Spoke to a main dealer 20 miles away from me, they have retro fitted CC half a dozen time which is good as they know what they're talking about. They have checked that I have the nesseccery clutch and break switch, which I do so its full steam ahead
They havent completly commited themselves though, and are saying they cant guarentee it, which is accepitable but it sound very confident. Charging half hour labour so around £40 ish
I need to wait till I get my summer shifts from work where i'll be on a 4 day week and I'll get it booked in for one of my week day days off.

They're called Olympic cars in Cirencester.

Its a touch over £40 to buy new...might be worth asking for a cheeky discount when ordering and see if that can save you a few bucks.
