Hi Erin, I am using two archos devices for quite a while now, and have never seen such problems, at least not the way that I was not able to understand WHY it happened. I have to admit, I'm not blind, so I far more easily see what the problem could be. Do you happen to know which version of the rockbox software you are using ? Are you using the voice-menus ? In that way, you should be able to hear where you landet. One menu path you should learn by hard is how you can save and restore a settings file. So anytime you are stuck, you restart the device and simply restore the settings file. In that way, whatever you changed, your beloved set of settings is applied. ~lImbus Received on 2006-10-05 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
