For me, it was moving up one in the root directory that wasn't clear. I easily copied the file over to the directory that came up on the right side of the browser window (and you have to remember to set the browser window to Commander mode, otherwise you only get one pane) but that was, of course, the wrong directory. I finally figured out that I needed to go up a directory, put the file there and, voila, all was good from there on. When you're completely unfamiliar with this stuff, nothing is obvious. Sometimes, when you work with something every day or know it inside and out, it's really hard to see that something that is completely automatic for you could really befuddle somebody seeing it for the first time. That's why a good technical/manual writer is worth their weight in gold....can forestall hundreds/thousands of tech support emails, calls, name-calling, etc. ;>). You did great, Soundcheck...just needed a few tweaks for us noobs----like anything else does. -- rgro Rick System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Touch (wireless) > CA DacMagic > Marantz PM8003 > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
