Eric: There are 2 updates, one for software and one for firmware. You have to do both. If your card is too full or your root directory is full and if your batteries are low, the firmware could have been aborted. This usually takes place after you've disconnected from the PC. The Book Port remembers the last folder you were in. If you accidentally got into the Notes folder or the memoes folder, then it would say, "There are no files." Press 0 plus * together to get out of that and get back into your main directory.

Amazing! But, of course, the simple and flawless never are for me. I inserted the CD and installed the software. But, each time I try to do something, I get the message there is an update and would I like to install that. Sure. So, it has gone through the process and restarted the computer, etc., but again when I start the software I am told of an update and would I like to install it. Also, after ignoring the update message, I have followed the tape instruction how to move files onto the BookPort and I get the same confirmation tone as on the tape, but when I use Star and Pound to get to files, I get the message There Are No Files. What the heck did I do wrong? Thanks for all suggestions! Eric
