Thanks for the reply, Deak.
I've got a few commitments over the next few days so I I'm not expecting to get an opportunity to look at it.
When I do I'll check out the parent menu. I had no idea there were additional enabled options within once Developer mode is activated. That's a great first step to check, thanks.
I have 3, possibly 4 things to consider:
1. The LeapPad was stuck in Developer mode and once within LFConnect, OpenLFConnect and LeapPad Manager cannot connect to the Pad.
2. There is a Windows driver issue once Developer mode is enabled. As soon as it connects within Developer mode, Windows loads a USB Mass Storage Driver in the background.
3. I am doing something wrong with the IP address or FTP program. I've experienced Windows not liking me assigning a 192.168.0.X IP address to the Pad despite when running ipconfig /all I can clearly see that it has worked.
4. Once I connected to the LeapPad using OpenLFConnect and enabled FTP, by closing the shell command and not disconnecting manually I have the problem. I wonder if the LeapPad cannot allow for more than one concurrent FTP connection [unlikely as a LeapPad reboot or USB cable unlpug should disconnect!]
This one I can easily prove/disprove!
To save time with the lengthy 'Tune Up' recovery I think I can simply uninstall some of my apps and hope LFConnect doesn't insist on upping them back to the device with each recovery.
