If you are on 3.2.0 and the device is not a Touch or Mini, then what was discussed in the other thread should solve it. If it doesn't, can you post the contents of your "Kobo eReader.conf" file?

Thanks for taking a look David- I am on 3.2.0 on an HD. I'll put the original Kobo eReader.conf file first, and the file with the added line second.
