Hi Jerry,
My thoughts exactly. That reset (I'd call it
"ROM Reset") clears things out - but you can get them back using
the things you've said. This, regretably, is the only cure
(actually there's one more reset that is cleaner yet more
destructive) for restoring system files. But in order to protect
novice comsers, no more comment on t... Well, sometimes
experimenting does help but it has visible consequences...
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: re: [Braillenote] Anybody Know What to Do if an Apex
Appears tohaveForgotten all its Authorization Keys?
Hi all,
My issue has been resolved. I'll share the main points just in
case it
helps somebody else. According to Humanware I must have held
down dots
1-2-3 during reset. I sure can't picture having done that by
accident. I
can only guess that I might have been trying to move to
top-of-page in the
browser and happened to be holding down those keys when I hit
Reset. I
don't think the Apex spontaneously rebooted itself, but at this
point I
can't really be sure of anything. Anyway, I am told that the
reset with
dots 1-2-3 will remove Keysoft extensions such as the Oxford
Dictionary
and Thesaurus. I guess it must eat authorization keys of some
kinds, too,
since it ate my RFB&D key. Interestingly, I guess my
dictionary/thesaurus
key must be more permanent since that extension is back working
even
though I only downloaded the software module itself without
actually
entering a new key as such.
Once I re-downloaded the dictionary and verified that it was
working, I
went back to RFB&D's web site and regenerated my key for them. I
typed
the key in and now have access to RFB&D material again.
Thanks for all the good suggestions.
Regards,
Jerry
