Thanks guys,
The launch was a complete success - after a few teething problems with the arcade analogue joystick and buttons I managed to get the kiosk working on Thursday night/Friday morning and it ran without a glitch all day Friday with dozens of complete novice player having a go.
We managed to get it to boot up and down with auto start by the shortcut being in the startup folder. It runs in fullscreen and the ups powers it all down safely at the end of the day when you simply turn it off at the plug.
Phew!
I had to introduce it to a couple of Lords and Ministers - which was a lot easier this time (I have done this before with a Highways project I did a few years ago), as they were very receptive.
Everyone seemed to like it very much and although some found it challenging to begin, once they had a couple of mnutes play, they got the hang of it and most got on the score board on their first attempt!
