I'm loading the bin now on my old machine withthe serial port using my old 232 cable.

Going forward this isn't going to be an option.

My device manager sees the USB to Serial adaptor. There are no driver conflicts though I am waiting on the manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver.

I can load the bin file into the loader. I select port three (it's the only port that works when I use the adaptor)and when it starts.....it runs slow then when it gets to two or three per cent..stops and there's no action onthe box either.

When I load it the old way with my old computer it flies....I guess I could try loading it via USB from my laptop but not sure what that would prove since the new desktop is a very high end machine from a very high maker with very high end components.

Thanks for the input this far guys but it's still a bit of a mystery....
