Mouse Freeze and Nothing Proceeds

Hello, I received my Firebird V4 yesterday and on initial run a dialog box for ApolloOS FirstBoot instructs you to press ok to set preferences. After it is pressed another dialog opens to a blank "Input Preferences".  Nothing further is allowed.  If I cancel the setup I'm able to explore the interface without issue. Any idea what the issue is I'm facing?

Thanks

Dan

Please update the ApolloOS to R8.2 which you can find in the download section.

Hi Gunnar, So I figured out how to move through the initial script by accident. All I hand to do was select the dialog box to the forefront and then click ok.  Go figure that was a trick lol. Thanks for the reply.

Best Regards,

Dan

I had a similar issue so I followed this advice and updated to R8.2.
Now the firstboot doesn't run at all, which I'm guessing is expected?
Interestingly enough, when I manually run the input preferences utility, the window is blank, and the system appears to hang, pretty much identical to the firstboot issue.

Any thoughts as to why input preferences is troublesome? I'm running a Firebird on an A500 rev 5.
