Papi, that is the first thing I tried to do, but in Windows XP, in my configuration, there was no option to choose to run as administrator. At any rate, I am the only user on the computer being used, with full administrative rights.

But good news. I booted into safe mode, attached my 350, ran the .bat file, and it worked! I am now running 1.05f. I'm not sure but I think some software or service running on my PC when in regular mode prevented access to the reader. The only thing I can think of is that when I first ran the Russian firmware a few weeks back, I hadn't yet installed the Sony Reader library. I only did that after. So perhaps the Sony library program is somehow interfering with the updating?

Unfortunately the latest firmware did not fix the funny looking alphabetic navigator on the right hand side.

Porkupan, is there any way you can fix this? It's not a biggie, but it would be nice to see it in all-English.

Edit: navigation fixed.
