Thanks Lary, Ok, still no luck, I did copy 3 files bpfw._BB bpfwex._BB BPMsgs._BB I noted that things happened slightly differently than the instructions said. The file that was attached to that link www.aph.org/update/bpx_2_1_0_28.bin was in fact a .zip file, so did not have to re name. I then disconnected and still got the announcemet "announcements missing" on every occasion that BP should give me info.. I then re set BP with no luck What else can I try?

Put in a set of fresh batteries. 2. Download www.aph.org/update/bpx_2_1_0_28.bin 3. Rename to bpx_2_1_0_28.zip 4. Unzip the file and copy the three extracted files to the root of the flash card. 5. If Book Port is still plugged into the usb port, put in your earbuds to listen for messages, then remove the usb cable from Book Port. Let us know what happens. >>> jamiek77@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tuesday, February 28, 2006 4:51:01 AM >>> Hi BP has been working fine uptil updating to beta 28 with firmware. Now get "Announcements missing" on lots of keystrokes. I have reset, reformatted, and plugged in and out and tried another flashcard. I still have the same problem. Before re-formatting the flashcard their was a boot.exe file or something like that in the root directory. Probably can't go backwards?? any ideas to resolve this problem?
