TyTN upgrade to WM6>>> NEWBIE!!!

[beegeebopper]

Hi, I am a newbie on pocket pc matters so, please, please excuse the way I am going about this problem I have.

I have a TyTN (yes, I know they bought a new one out 2/3 weeks after I got it! Story of my life!), and I am trying to upgrade it from WM5 to WM6.
Like a lot of other people, it refuses to install despite downloading ok & sync ok via WMDC.
The screen on the TyTN goes black and nothing else happens until "Error 260" comes up on the screen.

I have searched many,many forums & found other folk have the problem but things always finish in "Mid-Air" on the forum. Do they solve it? How?

I am not used to the lingo either. What's "cookin'", and "kitchen"??? (told you I am a newbie,but learning!)

My phone has HERM 200. IPL-1.00
HERM 200. SPL-2.03

Do I have to do something about this before even considering installing (well, try to) WM6?

two or three "links" go to great extremes of downloading this and that, but can someone in PLAN,SIMPLE English direct me the right way? Please?
