Kindle Fire First Gen Jellybean loop

Hi,
I was give a KF 1st gen to fix. When turned on it says "The application JellyBean 4.2 (process.android.process.acore) had stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.). After clicking Force close the message comes right back up. It appears stuck in an endloess loop.
I have done some reading on here and apparently an incompatible OS version was installed on this thing and I need to bring it back to Factory settings.

I downloaded KFU 0.99 and tried that but run into the following issues:
- executing the install_driver.bat file fails with a message "Cannot complete the Device Driver Installation Wizar". This is on Windows 10. The KF appears to connect OK to the PC though.
- when executing the run.bat file I see the following:

Resetting ADB and Launching KF Utility...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

- the ADB Status says Online, but the Boot Status says Unknown;
- When activating Fastboot, I get a message "couldn't write bp1, panic!"
- When installing FFF it just sits there with a message ...waiting for device...
- For some options, it attempts to download files from random.kennocha.com (108.61.31.89), and that site appears to be down.

I was able to download the Amazon Kindle Fire 6.3.2 stock update.zip file, and copied it to the root of the kindle. I then reset it but that didn't do anything.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

Jozef
