Must confess that my Beo5 is used mainly as a paperweight! And with Richard's lovely metal stand, it is a very good one!

Sounds like you should have more of a play with the config tool - I've managed to get it running on a Mac (under Parallels at the moment, works great, looking at getting a completely new tool natively under OS X) and while it's no way near bug-free, there is always a work-around to get it to do what you want!

Is item 170231211945 definitely your Beo5? If so, no wonder it didn't work...
