Yeah, with Steve holding his hand. What made the difference, as far as I can remember, was how to restart the 990 in the Device Restart situation. Clicking the master power switch off and on quickly as described in the instructions didn't do it, but leaving the MP switch alone and quickly pulling and reinserting the AC plug made the difference. I think. Good luck.

Just a thought....
I think Scala may be onto something. When I disabled my VCOM Systemsuite Pro firewall on my HP XP Pro system, AND all other background programs, the upgrade via usb finally went through after many hours of trying. It may be the thing that helps, that others haven't mentioned. Prior to trying that, I pretty much had the identical experience as PSYPROF1 did.
Hope this suggestion helps others.

I don't remember having to unblock the firewall on my wife's laptop during the process. As I mentioned earlier during this Update Saga, there seem to have been a lot of variables lurking in the field that the Outlaws didn't anticipate - part of the "learning curve" Steve mentioned to me. May the next update go much more smoothly for everybody.

How about an outline of the steps needed, inclusive of suggestions found to be helpful (or at least not cause any worsening of the problem), to help others install the firmware.
To get things started....
1. TURN OFF THE 990 AND THE COMPUTER 2. SWITCH THE USB TO SVC 3. CONNECT THE USB CABLE TO THE COMPUTER & 990 4. TURN ON THE 990 5. TURN ON THE COMPUTER 6. CLOSE ALL OPEN PROGRAMS ON THE COMPUTER
etc. etc.....
Maybe others can contribute to this outline of EXACT steps, in this simple "cookbook" form....

Maybe this is a silly question...but I'm stuck here.
The directions tell me to: When the file listing pop-up opens, navigate to the folder where you have saved the installation files and click through the files to locate “outlaw.inf”. Click “OPEN” to continue.
The problem for me, though, is that I am only allowed to choose a folder - not the actual file. I cannot drill down any further than the folder.
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks

Nothing...
This is exactly what is supposed to happen with XP, and is, I believe, an error in the instructions. XP will pick out the proper file automatically from this folder.
That is why I am trying to get an outline started (see my post above) in a simple format, for new users to follow.
Maybe other outlawa will contribute to it!

So if I'm reading the chart right, the analog inputs have bass management. Does that mean that the multi channel inputs also have bass management, or do we have to still count on the source to provide that ?
