Thanks!
I've done it so many times since it was available (see link tselling noted), and mine hasn't changed at all. In fact, each and every time I go through the process, I watch the update tell me I have Firmware dated 11-23-2010. The instructions are fool proof.

Here's the thing though...

It all happened again, just as I noted above. Same firmware date, same screen. But then, as I was typing this very comment, the thing made the familiar -=bladoop=- noise. I look over to see the my wallpaper gone and the home screen looks just like the one noted here: http://www.pandigital.net/ANDROID
But, wasn't that exactly the same screen I had before I began using my own wallpaper? Well, before I click "Submit Reply" I went to my library, hoping to see the new update and eating my words. Unfortunately, the library had not changed a jot.

So, as noted above, I followed the instructions to the letter. It only set my machine back to how it was when I first started. Which also included removing some additions I made such as a comic book reader, YouTube player, and the like. Have no idea where I got the video player.

I have done this on three separate occasions - but attempted it well over three times. And the time just before this I tried it more than 6 times in a single night. And that was when I finally decided to just piecemeal my unit by adding a handful of things I can get one at a time. Then when I saw the tselling helpful response to your comment, I thought I must've been doing something wrong or going to the wrong place (and no, I'm not being sarcastic). It was the same place, but I still gave it a shot. And for those who might wonder what I saw as I went through the process -- Everything along the way indicated all went well. Never got an error. Never stalled. If you've done it, it is simple. But it only set me back to square one. Nothing new.

If you find a solution Sarah, I would love to hear it.
