Gerald,

	This may not work with the Comcast build.  Cobalt did a number of OEM
and partering deals with other companies, Comcast being one of them. 
The Comcast build included a custom software package on top of the
standard Qube 3 build, which may have disabled the paperclip feature.

	Your restore advice is very wise.  Jason, you should download an OS
restore CD and restore the Qube to a standard Qube 3 OS.  After that, it
should be much more usable.
