Hello Seth,

I have tried the 2 easiest options you suggested, the first via the software centre
I keep getting "Package Operation Failed" if I then use terminal and paste
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic-package
I also get a error message.

I have pasted the details in the call, but not sure if you still have it "OPEN"

Best Regards
John Elliott.
