Thanks for trying.

If it's a home computer, then you are the administrator! The way it's supposed to work is,

1. Shut down the Nokia, pull the sd cards out, and set it aside.
2. Fire up the updater, I think by dragging the bin file on top of the updater app icon.
3. It will then do the waiting for device thing.
4. Hold down the home button on the Nokia, and then hit the power button. You should see the little usb icon show up on the screen.
5. Plug in the Nokia's usb to the computer.
6. The flasher app, that's been saying "waiting for device" or something like that will do the "Ah Ha!" thing and update your device.
