it didnt work on XP either... I got the same error message. Just go to the folder that was created during the unzipping and double click the HTML readme file for instructions and double click the flash.exe file when instructed to.

I found it pretty disappointing to have to go thru manual proceedures when the automatic is poorly written. As for the upgrade, it actually does seem a bit faster (but maybe that is me).

Preliminary tests with GapiDraw ( www.gapidraw.com ) indicates a GAPI performance boost of nearly 100% with this patch!! Great work Toshiba !!

Anyone know how to get mine working?

Do youy know anyone that has a Win98 computer?
If you do, try installing activesync on it, then hooking your e740 up to it. Then try installing the patch.
I use a dual-boot system, so if it doesnt work in Win98, it should work in 2000. But, in XP? Thats slightly odd...
