Another possibility has occurred to me and being an amature programmer I think it's validity very remote. However let me bring it up. I've noticed as I go through the upgrades from v1 to v1.1 to vRC3 that the dr.ini file doesn't seem to change as much as I would think it should. Like many posters here (I suspect) I've tried many of the 3rd party apps and some of the "hacks". Some of these install lines into the dr.ini file. All of these lines (enabling xjournel, djvu and more) are not there after the update (downgrade) to v1. But all the lines that are v2 specific ARE still there as is at least two of the "hacks". To me this means that the update is not a complete replacement of the OS (even though I format the card before updating). So, just maybe, one of these settings is causing the problem directly or indirectly. The first posting below is a saved v1 dr.ini (personal info removed) and the second posting is what is now being written when I update to any version.
Code:
[deviceinfo]
product_type=DR800SG-US
serial_number=CACYJ-M4GXF
software_version=1000
kernel_version=1000
micro_bootloader=1.2
micro_application=1.2

[registry]
/apps/er/sys/global/list_languages=English;
/apps/er/sys/global/is_first_boot=false

/apps/er/sys/flightmode/flightmode_mode=false

/apps/er/private/ids/account/password=
Code:
[deviceinfo]
product_type=DR800SG-US
serial_number=CM6KC-XXPKJ
software_version=1010
kernel_version=1010
micro_bootloader=1.7
micro_application=1.8

The two "hacks" that I can see are the "rotation" and "standby" settings. However, many v2 settings are in place here as well. So, my thinking was that because they are v2 settings their affect is not seen when running the v1 system, but when I update to any v2 system whatever code that might be causing my problem then becomes enabled.

This is all mute if Gertjan finds the problem is with my pdf of course, but I find that possibility even more remote.

Is there a way to restore the original system completely? That would disprove the somewhat ridiculous theory I proposed above.
