Dale: The best thing you can do is relax and let the update process happen. = Forget about 1+3+*+#, unzipping files and the like. The software will tell = you what you need to do. Just connect your Book Port and let it happen. P.S. I understand your concern since you had major trouble with the beta. = But those days are behind you now! Rob Meredith >>> drlieser@xxxxxxx 07/30/04 09:37AM >>> I'm expecting my repaired BP from APH soon, and would like to know the proper sequence for updating the firmware and software, in case the unit = has older versions. My biggest fear is that I would end up with firm- or software that would be incompatible with the other. And, is the 1-3-*-# command only for reverting to an older version of firmware once a newer build has been successfully installed? Or will that command work to abort the updating process if it isn't working? Also, since I have left the transfer software to check for updates automatically, is there a possibility it would pull in aa software update before I'm ready, or is there a confirmation step in the process? The more detailed your explanation, the better off I'll be, I think.<smile>= Thank you. Dale
