hi slowcelica.
can you go to the "other" tab, then click on "e6 info"?
then click update. it should show the download in progress - it's going to be slow - believe its updating courses - either the one intial course or if you've been verified - 5 courses - it's at least over a gig.
just wait for it to complete.
when it's done, you may or may not have to restart e6, cant remember. either way, go back to "e6 info" and click "update" again. I think it should then apply the update (will also take a while). Basically, keep clicking update until it says "your software is up to date".
so try this and let me know if it helps.
