Re: Help with daily builds?

The structure is clean, containing only those files in the full daily build
.zip file EXCEPT for the custom .cfg and .wps files that I've created. I've
just tried using the 8/3/2003 daily build and it behaves the same way.

Question: I haven't flashed anything into the recorder - just using the
original method. Could this be related to the problem I'm seeing?
