I got a suggestion from sonos support -- turn off the update option. So I've spent the past hour doing that on 2 of my computers. Some of the software doesn't make this option on/off very easy, and its often quite hidden in the software -- really this should be controlled centrally. At any rate, hopefully I can run the most outdated software in the world on my computers and it will ALL WORK!
