Just to update, I think you're on the right track Marc. The netbook must be lacking in either hardware or software, I've not been able yet to determine which but I'm hoping it's the latter as monitoring the resources when the fault occurs shows no spikes or other tells the hardware can't keep up, it simply refuses to proceed, waiting for something.
Taking your advice, I've since managed to install Diagbox v7.65 and both Citroen and Peugeot Dockbackup/Sedre on the not-so-portable laptop as a virtual XP box. All's working as expected so I at least have a backup option (once I find the cigarette lighter power adapter for it!).
