Pamela and all who addressed this question - This gets weirder. I have two Book Ports and the second just came back from being serviced (I'd already had the one on which this problem is occurring serviced last month). In short, I have two units in as close to like-new condition as it's possible for them to be. I swapped the card from the failing unit to the one that just came back today and (of course) star plus zero *does* move from one folder level to the next higher: in other words, it works just fine, so any possible corruption of the card would appear to be off the table so far as being an issue. To respond to the questions asked by others: * I removed the batteries and CF card, so the unit reset as though I'd pressed 2 + B. * The star and zero keys are working as expected in every other application, both when playing and when idle. * I did discover, after considerable playing around, that I could press D to enter the manual. Then I could press 2 to stop the manual playing and I could navigate folders again: that is, when I pressed 2, I was left in the file and I could then move to a folder and navigate downwards in order to open a file other than the one that I'd previously been reading. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pamela Rader Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 8:21 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: BP won't exit folders Walt: I assume you're pressing 0 and * to exit? If so, then you may have corruption in the files you copied. You might try doing a reset of 2 plus b without the card installed and then try again. If that doesn't work, try a different card and see what happens with that one.
