The description below definitely sounds like a software problem, and one
which can be fixed by copying the the updated calibration info into the
geos.ini or net.ini _after_ you've done the recalibration. Remember that
expert+ mode copies its geos.ini into b:\geoworks\geos.ini each time you
reboot, hence trashing the info from the last time you recalibrated.

For the person who originally posted on this a few messages back,
*definitely* try an A-B reset _WITHOUT_ your memory card inserted or
any backup at all from your previous stuff. If it's still a problem
after you've gone through the calibrate in this `fresh-out-of-the-box'
state, then it's probably hardware and back to the repair place....

Good luck and please followup - I'd like to know if this might be
a problem more of us will be running in to.....
