I let it restart...I powered it down, rebuilt the image....its always the same so far.
I go through the AVWizard just fine, resolution, sound...everything is peachy...then it starts generating the screens, goes through Stage one, starts on Stage two, can't exactly say until which screen it gets. Then this window pops up and it as a blank button, it goes away after a while, whether I try to push it or not. Comes back several times...and when that finally stops, it starts generating with stage one again!
oh, I forgot- it uses hdmi for video, spdif/optical for audio
