hey retrozion...you said your computer shut off at the last step...well i dont know why it happened...if you are experiencing problems..then you should wipe your handheld and then again update it...cos it will solve your multi-tap problem

If you do a back up and restore during the S/W upgrade you won't lose your personal data

Hope this helps.

OK, I really appreciate all of your input Red Dog.

Do you need a PC to update the OS? I have a Mac but I can find a PC somewhere...

I upgraded out-of-the-box T-Mo Pearl from 0.51!!! to 1.101.
Installation crashed with unrecognized java exception on Pearl, so my heart almost stopped.
But pass 2 solved the problems... even if DM stated device is not connected...
