Ok I now have v1.54 installed

Before reboot:
40: 0001 0100 A041 0100
48: 3570 0301 2305 0000
After reboot:
Same as above. I have not modified HiJack in anyway I downloaded it from this link:

http://empeg-hijack.sourceforge.net/v154.hijack.v200b8.mk2.zImage

I used LogoEdit to install this HiJack version. I did use the EtherFlash util a while back to install a HiJack version could this have messed it up? Made something read-only?

Here's the fix_visuals line for ya:
fix_visuals(): restore=0, row=0

My settings are kept "Enabled" or "Disabled" for Restore visuals. Other things like Screen Blanker Timeout are working fine.
