Retina seems ok, can't say more really it's all been so rushed.
I've downloaded ISS today to get a comparison with something else at least. Now running the sales gauntlet to get a licence key with...

Nope totally wrong it's Version 5.3.4.1325
But it is an evaluation copy on a 2 week 16 IP licence.
It's runnign a lot better now. I think I'd configured some of the scans badly and that was...
