Press 'Ctrl+x' (Cut) . Goto Drive D:\system\apps . Press Ctrl+v (Paste) . I believe the Series 5 with Rom 1.00 had a bug on it so you have to rename the folder to something different, wait a few seconds and rename it back to GolfCaddy5, before the extra's bar updates it's location to the correct drive.Otherwise you will get an error message 'NOT FOUND' RESTRICTIONS --------------------- To encourage you to register the following small limitation has been applied.

Press (Ctrl+g) to view various game types Press (Ctrl+v) for quickview Press (Ctrl+w) for Card analysis Press (Ctrl+x) for Card group analysis.
