Hi guys,

I think the Shift B command is what is causing it. Either that or something new's developing. This is the second time in the last few days that my Kindle has frozen when I open the browser. I've tried switching it off (holding the on button to the right until the screen flashes) and on again (doing the same) and it doesn't turn on. But last time I tried turning it on after a day, and it came on and froze.

I have created a file (browser.ini) which I've put in the launchpad folder. I used gedit to create it, and did a 'save as' and saved it as browser.ini. I hope that was the right way to do it? I don't know how else to create an ini file. The code in the file is as follows:

Code:

[Actions]

## Launch the Browser
B = #'k3_Home' 'Menu' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Down' 'k3_FW_Press' 'k3_FW_Up' 'k3_FW_Press'

I've got a Kindle3 wifi international if that counts?

Cheers!

EDIT: I just got it to start again (holding the button over to the right for about 10 seconds) and opened the browser, first using the normal way (selecting menus) and the next time using the 'shift b' launchpad command. Both times worked.

Is it possible the freeze is associated with wifi starting up?
