The pre-run mode leads me to my next question. If I disregard the PC, and just look at the GC as a standalone piece of equipment, once I turn it on and it goes through all it's checks, the not ready light turns on. Even when all the temperatures reach their set points, and the detectors are on, the system will not run, instead stating it is still in pre-run. If I press start the 'not ready' light just flashes. Bearing in mind I've never used one of these GCs, so the answer might be simple, is there something I need to do to get out of this pre-run mode?
I will try to remember to look at precisely how I have it set up this evening to answer your first question (deleted for purposes of brevity here). As for the "not ready"- does the instrument have one detector, or two?
If you have a second detector and it's getting warmed by virtue of the oven, but it is set for an entirely different temperature, it is possible for the instrument to be 'not ready' by virtue of that being out of whack. Just something to check.
