one heavy handed option would be to uninstall the parts that make up the browser, and reinstall them.

Did you reflash the thing after buying it? Maybe the installed OS has some problems?

Yes, reflash. If it's new you can't lose anything (cept perhaps some of your set-up time). If it won't reflash he can return it anyway.

Not 100% sure (because I uninstalled it so long ago), but I think the Get Started applet uses Flash, which is kind of part of the browser.
I definitely agree you should reflash. It sounds like a corruption/permissions problem to me, and a reflash will fix that.

Hi, what is the result of:
In my tablet, I'd get the symptoms described in your first post because the 'S number' tablet-browser-daemon had was lower than the one x-server had.

Code:
ls /etc/rc2.d/*tablet-browser-daemon* /etc/rc2.d/*x-server*

Sorry for not reporting the results back earlier, but re-flashing the OS seems to have fixed the problems. The browser works fine now, as does the "Getting Started" app. Everything else seems to work also.
Thanks for all the help.

Just thought I'd mention that a friend of mine bought a tablet on my recommendation. He began having this problem shortly after flashing it. It was the browserd daemon; it didn't seem to be started properly when the system was powered up, or it was crashing in the startup process before the user ever got to the desktop.
I walked him through manually starting browserd, and it worked, but there were side effects of that...
He reflashed and the problem went away, too.
Quite a mystery.
