Oh, picky, picky, picky! Why can't my computer do what I want it to do instead of what I tell it to do? smile

I re-ran the process (this time with all the commands spelled correctly) and it almost was completely successful.

When I did my Emplode synchronization, everything went normally right up to the end, in the "Restarting Player" phase. It hung there, with Emplode saying "Waiting". I still had hyperterminal running, and it showed "Fan Controller Error" (I have the optional fan installed in my player), which is something I see occasionally on the player's display. I am going to assume that this was a one-time glitch that stopped Emplode (ignorance is bliss, right?) and pretend that everything is all right now. Hopefully the next time I synchronize with Emplode I won't find out differently.

Thanks, Peter, for the sharp-eyed help!
