Commands displayed in the start menu that have arrows on the right indicate that a submenu is available for a command. A submenu is a second-level menu.

Ex. "My Recent Documents" usually will have an arrow to the right of it. When you access your recent documents, you are actually accessing a submenu.

I had this problem and someone pointed me towards this
http://www.appdeploy.com/software/detail.asp?id=178735

I eventually deleted the folder that this string identified, and I was able to re-install the software at long last
pipster

go back to the (Menu) screen then (installation) and (OK) on (User Installation) again enter 0000 as your pin, Now press the yellow button for (Power Scan).
Start the search @ 290.00MHz & end it @ 420.00MHz using the symbol rate of 6.887Mbaud then hit (OK) to start the scan. could take a few minutes but should get all your channels back.

Dont suppose you could post the most recent codes up please?

Try to use other browser such as firefox you can download it here:

hope that helps.

Start>Programs>Pictures & Videos
navigate to the picture in question and select Menu (right function key)>Delete.

or try

Start>Programs>File Explorer
navigate to My Device/My Documents/My Pictures and now you can select multiple files and then select Menu (right function key)>Delete.

Is this what you want?

I am having the same problem. I just contacted my wireless provider and they were stomped!! They tried calling Samsung directly but they are closed on Sunday's. I will be calling tomorrow but I have a strong suspicion that because there is no prompt to delete the log that a "Master Rest" will have to occur. Be advised that if this is done, that log may be deleted but so sill EVERYTHING else that is not factory set. All data will be lost if that is done. So hopefully that won't have to occur.
