I tried going back a few pages to find the answer to see if anyone else is having problems flashing PRS+. I picked up my 950 yesterday afternoon and decided to experiment a bit with the intent of changing the fonts on the 950 at some point. Here's what I did with my Windows 7 64 bit:

1. Tried to install PRS+, but my firmware needed to be updated by Sony first.
2. Installed Sony updated firmware.
3. Ran PRS+ installer a second time and let it connected to the system while I did something else. I came back and it was done so I disconnected it and per the instructions, I turned it off and turned it back on again, or at least I think I did. Although I have slept since then lol.
4. Hooked up the reader and noticed there was now a PRSPlus folder in the database folder with only a epub folder inside it.
5. Moved over some music and books to the reader. Read up on changing fonts and decided to wait until the weekend.
6. Noticed that the firmware looked no different then the Sony version(no folder, different setting options, etc) and tried restarting reader again in case I didn't do it last night.
7. Reader get's stuck in a loop with Opening Book?!? I let it go for 20 minutes before giving up and trying to reset it.
8. Pressed reset, tried the power slider, tried connecting it to the computer. Ended up long-pressing reset and the holding the power slider, but that didn't work, but after doing so, I hooked it up to the computer and then it connected and I was able to uninstall the PRS+ and no longer have any problems restarting the 950.

So does anyone see where I missed something or failed to do something. I noticed that at one point, the instructions from the PRS+ website say to make sure your reader is not connected to a computer when restarting and I made sure it wasn't and that had no effect.

ETA: I almost forgot to mention that I did try uninstalling and reinstalling PRS+ and the same inability to start thing happened.
