Spud --
I've been entertaining the thought of a hard reset and reinstalling...
...but I figure if it has come to that, I might as well continue playing with the registery first. While the "SD Card2" is present, I'll do a search (if I can do that with Regedit) for what ever there is in the registry and consider changes. I'll save the ROM Flash for the ultimate back-up plan. However, what I'd reeeeally like to find out is what slowed the unit down from recognizing the card at start up in the first place? Some sort of conflict there. So how would I go about finding out what is being loaded when I boot up? Kinda like pressing the F8 key or something like that....
