Sean: The Book Port keypad does not function when the Book Port is connected to the computer; this is normal. The fact that you are not connecting is the real problem. Which operating system are you using? Do you have a network with possible drive letter conflicts with the BP? Do you have an AMD chip set?

I mean it will freeze. The only way I can get it back to normal is to take out the batteries. The computer will not see the bp at all. I am running version (I have no idea. It is old though.) thanks for your help. Write back soon Sean
