Having trouble with SD750

I'm having trouble getting CHDK working on my SD750 firmware v. GM1.01B.

I've gone through all the tutorials and I'm close to getting it to work, however, I guess it's crashing when I hit the playback button to attempt to take a picture.  When I hit that button, the camera turns off.  I followed the tutorial in this forum and also used CardTricks.

On the CHDK spash screen, it lists the firmware as ixus_75_sd750 - 101a.  I double-checked and I definitely downloaded the 1.01B version.  Could this be the problem?  If so, how could I fix it?  Thanks in advance.

The "101b" firmware is in fact a copy of of 101a, because they are thought to be compatible.

I'm not sure why you are hitting the playback button to take a picture ? Half press the shoot button instead.

On the SD990 (and I assume other SD cameras with a play button), hitting the play button while in play mode turns the camera off, if the lens is not extended. I thought this was a bug in my CHDK port, but it happens with the stock firmware too ;)
Don't forget what the H stands for.

...normal behaviour on Ixus cams (also on some others, e.g. the SX10) with extra playback pushbutton...

You can power on with the [>] button, cam starts in playback mode, lens stays retracted, pressing [>] powers the camera off.
When the cam once was in record mode, [>] only changes between playback and record mode, also when the lens is retracted by the power management...
