    Please be more specific. What messages are you getting?

    What version of DM are you using?

    Just to be sure, after you downloaded the OS, did you install it?

    On your computer go to C:/Program Files/Common/Research In Motion/Apploader and double click the Loader.exe file. See if you can load the OS that way.

    No 4.6 is fine its VERY stable..... Did the OS actually install or did it fail...... If it failed its a PC issue.......

    Are you using win7 by any chance? What are you using as far as OS on your PC? Win7 beta is not compatible.

    You might try rebooting your PC then open DM 4.6 but don't connect your BB yet. Pull the battery with your BB on, then connect your BB to the USB then put the battery in your BB.

    Trem meant uninstall any previous OS files on the PC.

    I've never heard of ne1 using winrar to unzip the OS files before. I wonder if that's the problem.

    Why did you choose .81? The .110 is the latest AT&T 4.5 OS

    I am going to download the OS from his link to see what I get, I am curious - The only thing I have seen in ZIP is the DM, I am thinking this is where his confusion lies....
