i downloaded and tried re-installing the beta 5.21 software that's still up on the site, which is what my 7600 had before trying to update to 5.22 tonight.. but i still got the AWAITING CONTACT error… (which i didn't get when i originally put 5.21beta on my machine)

the 5.22 install wiped out my time factor and mod factor presets.. during the whole problem with cancelling out of the AWAITING CONTACT..

on the 5.21 beta re-install i chose "restart" after AWAITING CONTACT and i got the time and mod factor stuff back… so it looks like i may be set back to where i was pre-5.22.. but i'm still unable to update to 5.22
