I had the screensaver hack working on my Kindle PW1 with custom graphics just fine for a while (thanks for all the hard work on this code!)

Then on Saturday I left the device connected to WiFi and it downloaded the update to 5.4.5 and the hack stopped working. Since then, I've tried various means of installing the LINKSS update. I tried installing it directly, but the UPDATE option is grayed out. I've tried updating the jailbreak, installing the bridge then installing the Jailbreak, reverting to earlier Kindle software (it now says I have 5.4.3.2) and trying both Jailbreak and Bridge/Jailbreak (all files from the front page of this thread.)

I get the **** JAILBREAK **** message every time, but when I move the Update Linkss bin file to the main directory of the Kindle, eject the device, disconnect the cable and go to update, the update option is grayed out.

What am I doing wrong?
