Bam! way ahead of you...hehe ...yes they are 2 different programs that do the exact same thing.... the flasher IMHO works best on Linux machines and the Nokia internet tablet software update wizard works best on windows...but some may disagree with my opinion...if you are a windows user by nature and are daunted by linux...familiarity is best when approaching unfamiliar terrain...go with the update wizard ...it feels "windowsy" hehe

...if the linked download has probs ...I'll pull one of my copies out and we'll get it to you...but it is the exact same exe I have so it shouldn't give you grief.
Talk to you tomorrow
Remem..have fun...everything is a puzzle


zzzzzz

Update: Ach! before I shut my eyes...I just gotta say...
once you have it reflashed to diablo...I'll give you a hand setting up cssu (community updates) and a few very very very good tweaks and progs. and we'll get you to the latest version of Diablo....Diablo Turbo...then set up all the repositories for all the potential programs...then you can play like there is no tomorrow.....you will want to grab at the minimum a 8-16gb sdhc class 4 (best stable card speed frankly) card for the internal card slot and a 32gb sdhc class 4 card for the external....yup it takes 2 cards....depending upon your affordability and accessibility ...you can go higher...up to 2 128gb cards...but for now I don't think you need that much and there is some work pertaining to cards that high and they are specific cards as well.
And given enough time having fun...could be a long time before you start getting bored
Then point you in the direction of copying (cloning) the internal operating system onto the internal sd card so that you start the n800 and run the device off the sd card...saving your device strain and increasing it's longevity ...it means that the internal storage for installed programs goes from under 100mb to gigs of storage...ample room for ALL the apps available ...As well booting from the sd card enables easier restoration from crashes...all that fun stuff...And when you start getting bored there..point you towards installing chrooted os's like easy debian turbo...for example...chrooting allows you to open an operating system inside the current running maemo os... debian has tens of thousands of programs ...concerning the n800 ability to run them efficiently...some progs do better than others...there's Basilisk...a Mac os ...there is one for the Palm...there is Nitdroid...android for nokia internet tablet....there is Arch Linux on Arm ALARM..somewhere.. So many OS's so little time ....some have better functionality than others...there is also a section on transcoding audio and video....read up on it...esp. if you want to stream video from your comp to your n800...mind the file size and ease of use and how clean the pic quality I get with my methods I love....some stretch the boundaries to get best this or that...if it looks good...sounds good...plays good.. 10 times out of 10... and I don't need to spend a ton of time fiddling with a transcoding program then I'm happy.
Tons of stuff to do...ya just gotta puzzle out the flashing 1st
Hackers delight man
Okay ...NOW I'm seriously going to hit the snort-fort before I fall over.
Tomorrow...see you then...have fun with the new super-toy
