The manuals say that you should use 2.1 because 2.0 did not have the support for ND. What I think your problem is is that the computer has somehow reverted back to having the monochrome screen be the login screen. The only way I know to fix this is to find a monochrome screen and hook it up to the system, instead of the soundbox, switch the login screen to the color and then rehook the soundbox back up. Good Luck, Dan (dan@ennex1.eng.utsa.edu)
