Quote: It contains 2 directories, called "English" and "Espanol". An SLK.hpappdir exists in the English folder. It seems to me that dragging SLK41b.zip to the application library can cause at least an uncertain response. In addition, I must note that the correct icon is installed on the Prime, as can be seen in my response number 16. And that's why I still wonder why the Function icon is visible. A paperclip warmstart has no result. Sincerely, Karel.

Ok, you are trying to install the new version SLK 4.1b.
You have a "Function" icon on your screen instead of the "SLK" icon.
The new version is zipped and contains the English and Spanish versions.
Unzip the downloaded file. Choose English or Spanish version.
Both versions are called SLK.hpappdir and this is why you cannot load the zip file directly into the >Aplication Library.

Now, which version do you want to install? Whichever one you choose, the procedure will be the same.
Assuming you want to install the English version.
First, you have to get rid of the "Function" icon from the screen. This is what we call a Ghost app.

Perform the Factory Reset below.

1- Hold your Calc securely with your THUMB and PINKY finger while pressing and holding the three keys F C O with your Ring, Middle and Index fingers. It is very important that you do not let go of any of the three F C O keys until the process is over.
2- Turn Calc sideways and push a paper clip into the RESET hole at the back of the Calc then release the clip and wait until the screen lights up before you release the three F C O keys. You may have to practice this reset a few times before you get it right.

if you are successful, the EA656 DIAGNOSTIC screen will be displayed.
1-Press 4. FLS Utility. The screen will change to FLASH UTILITY.
2-Press 3 to highlight 3. Format Disk C, followed by [Enter] and wait until the screen returns to FLASH UTILITY.
3-Press [ESC] to return to EA656 DIAGNOSTIC screen.
4-Press C. POWER OFF MODE (NOT 9. RESET) to exit EA656 DIAGNOSTIC.
5- Link back to your CK via (USB) and re-INSTALL the Programs and Apps you previously deleted.
6- Install the SLK of your choice English or Spanish.

Dear Mr. Michaud,
I performed this procedure earlier this month, and also no result. At that time I also had a Ghost app, which I wanted to delete. I followed the steps that you published earlier in this thread. The Ghost app disappeared, the Function icon remained. So what's left to try? I don't think it will change on its own. I hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Karel.
