Hi, Rob. Thanks for sending me something to try.
Here is what I did.
I deleted all of the tdb files. I think there were 12.
I connected wirelessly and went to the add a network folder prompt. I typed
in:
"//PAUL/Paul Henrichsen/music/"
I got an endless loop message; something about gen gate and either var lock
or var log. I couldn't tell and some numbers.
I tried it again after deleting all of the tdb files. This time I got
another number spevifying that I had entered an invalid share name.
I tried another folder:
"//PAUL/Paul Henrichsen/My Files/"
And got a completely different error number but the same invalid share name
prompt.
Hope this helps.

Paul:
Please try the following in an attempt to fix file shares with Vista:
1. Be sure wireless networking is off.
2. Open File Explorer on the Braille+.
3. Open the internal flash disk.
4. Open the var folder.
5. Open the lock folder.
6. Delete all of the files with an extension of .tdb. There are probably
10-15 of them.
7. Turn on wireless networking and connect to your access point.
8. Try accessing files on your Vista machine again.
Rob
