Yeah, I kind of thought I had fuxxored things with the newer install, so i deleted the Knots folder entirely, did a complete registry sweep and purge (with apps I use specifically for that purpose), and reinstalled/reconfigured Knots.

That did a LOT to help things, everything is basically peachy now.

So thanks again! And keep up the good work, ukki!!! Knots is the best-kept secret of the N900, I'll say! :^)
