I've gotten myself well and truly confused.

I have a Kindle DX with the 2.1 firmware and SSDX 0.1 (yeah, I'm behind on my updates) that I wanted to update to 2.5. I can't seem to get the Screen Saver hack to uninstall completely.

I've followed the uninstall instructions a few times. My kindle will say that the SSDX is gone, but the screen saver folder still shows when I plug it into my computer (Mac OSX 10.4). The first time I did so, my custom screen savers were still showing up.

I tried reinstalling & uninstalling again based on threads I found here. I've managed to get the original DX screen savers showing up both on the kindle and my computer after two or three rounds of that.

I have versions of the .01 hack from both 06/09 and 11/09, but neither seems to uninstall.

Any other things I can try?

Thanks for letting me pick your brains- it's appreciated.
