You can try, however, you just might have to open the page in Internet

Dude try chkdsk in your computer. Put 'em into diskdrive mode,
delete all the crap you tried deleting and try chkdsk.

>Hi list:
>I am so frustrated now, I can't even hardly type this message.
So, remember
>my 2 RSS posts before? Well, both problems are still occurring
after
>reflashes, and after the 1.06.28 update and the 1.1.1 update.
So, I thought
>I found a solution. Here is what I was doing:
>1. Making a opml export of my feeds.
>2. Closing the RSS reader.
>3. Opening file explorer, and then opening the hard drive.
>4. Deleting the .rss folder.
>5. Deleting the podcasts folder.
>6. Deleting the RSS.db file in the DB folder on the hard drive.
>7. Opening the internal flash disk.
>8. Opening the home folder.
>9. Opening the root folder.
>10. Opening the DB folder.
>11. Deleting rss.db.
>12. Closing file explorer.
>13. Opening the RSS reader.
>14. Importing the feeds from the OPML file.
>So, I thought this worked. I could deal with my feeds for a day
or 2, and
>then the problem came back instantly. I did this time after time
after
>time. Here is what was causing the error:
>1. Sometimes, I was connected to my wireless network, but with a
very weak
>signal.
>2. With a 100 percent signal, the RSS would lock and make the
click sound
>after the updating feed message was up there for 4 seconds.
Before, it
>would wait about a minute, and then it would go on to the next
feed and say,
>error, urlipen error, temporary failure in name resolution,
grater than.
>3. It would say that there was no such feed address for blind
cool tech,
>the subscription address has always been:
>http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
>or:
>http://www.aph.org/tech/bct.xml
>I checked the website, and these are correct. But, the RSS
reader says they
>are not.
>Any help on this problem?
>The second problem:
>All of the podcasts marked or cued for download all start
downloading at
>once, and then it locks up. This is a bad bug, I think.
>The next problem:
>After the feeds are updated, and you set the option to
automatically
>download podcasts after a feed update, it doesn't show the
download manager.
>The next problem:
>The Icon or Braille Plus sits there on a podcast, and doesn't
realize that
>the file has been removed. On Blind Cool Tech, the eberhard
Hinrich Intro
>was on I think:
>http://cdn1.libsyn.com/bct/bct11423eberhinrichentro.mp3/Ebererd
Hinrich
>Intro .mp3
>It has only downloaded that podcast once, on any podcatcher on
any computer
>or any device. The old version of software would tell me that
the file
>wasn't found. Now, it just sits there like a dumb person waiting
on
>something that doesn't even exist.
>The next problem, yes, there are more:
>My little articles problem has gotten bigger. I have tried
everything from
>everyone, but nothing worked. It won't even open articles from
the last
>feed update now.
>The next problem: My podcasts are supposedly getting downloaded,
but when I
>try to play them, they say "error file not found, switching
status to marked
>for download". This takes about 5 seconds to do.
>The next problem:
>The settings don't seem to work anymore. I go into settings, and
change my
>settings, but then they don't effect my feeds in anyway. I am
pressing okay
>when I am done. The RSS reader just doesn't obey. However, when
I open the
>settings menu again, the settings are what I changed them to.
>The next issue:
>When I go to open the RSS reader, it takes about 45 seconds, and
then it
>finally says, loading feeds. It takes another 29 seconds for
them to load.
>Another problem:
>All podcasts that are cued for download won't unmark when I press
select.
>What is the difference between marked and cued anyway?
>The final problem:
>In the download manager, after a podcast finishes downloading,
the podcasts
>below it disappear. I have to reopen the download manager, and
then it will
>show the current who knows how many podcast that are downloading.
>Does anybody have any ideas?
>Any help is greatly appreciated!
>As I said earlier, I can't even use the unit's RSS features or
the podcast
>features now.
>All of these problems happen on both of my units.
