Hello Pamela,

I did as you instructed, but after I unplugged the USB cable, it immediately 
read the firmware version and said ready.  I waited as you instructed, just to 
see if anything else would happen, but other than hearing the double beep 
indicating the unit turned off, nothing else is happening.  I even replaced the 
flash card with a new one.  When I push a button, it still says "application 
missing".

  Hi Rick:

   

  This error is usually caused by one of the following things:

   

  1.  The root directory of the compact flash card has too many files on it or 
is corrupt.

  2.  The firmware was downloaded when the batteries were low.

   

  You can remedy this by doing the following:

   

  Make sure the batteries in the Book Port are fresh.  Then, follow these 
instructions:

   

  1.  Try plugging in the Book Port to the PC, wait about 10 seconds and 
disconnect the plug from the Book Port.  Be sure to listen with the headphones 
or speakers to see if it talks and updates.  If it does, it'll take about a 
minute or so to update.  If it doesn't update, go onto the next step.

   

  2.  Download the file:

   

  www.aph.org/tech/bpx_setup.exe 

   

  Connect the Book Port and run the file you downloaded.

   

  3.  The computer will prompt you when to disconnect.  Once you disconnect, do 
not press any keys or re-connect to the PC, until the update has finished.

   

  If you have any problems doing any of this, or if you have any questions, 
please let me know via email or by phone and I'll be happy to assist you 
further.

   

  Sincerely,

  I received a Book Port from a user that was no longer making use of the 
reader.  I installed the software on my computer and let it update to the 
newest version of the software.  I was able to authorize the player and move a 
book from Audible to the memory card.  The issue I am having, is when I push a 
button on the Book Port, I just receive the message "application missing".  I 
read through the manual twice, but see no reference to this issue.  If anyone 
has a fix, I will be very appreciative.

   

  Rick
