I have not had the error message on either the 32 cell which I use daily or the 18-cell which I use at home evenings and weekends. They both have 5.0 burned into ROM, but have 5.1 installed.

It says to me that if one has version 5.0 burned in to rom and if one installs version 5.1 that this error could come up on the display. Actually, I have tried to bring my husband's machine back to version 5.0 but I can't seem to do this. I'll try again, and probably after sending this message, I'll be successful, (smile.) To sum things up as I see them: there is something wrong between version 5.0 and version 5.1.
