YES! and no.

" and for some reason It did not except the 2003 Default Code!! "

Yes, I saw exactly this problem.
I had this same problem. I had been using my personal laptop to work on code, and we had another older laptop that belongs to the school on which we also were working on code. Originally, I put the 1.33 version of the Basic Stamp editor on my personal laptop. I was able to load code, we worked on some different things - no problem.

Then we decided to figure out the multi-bank programming. At this point I upgraded to the 2.0 Basic Stamp editor and worked on code. The first time I loaded it - Basic Run Error! After hours of failure I decided to try something... I loaded the known working single bank code - Basic Run Error! In short, I could no longer load and run code from my own laptop. My laptop was running Win 2000, SP 3. I contacted Parallax and they suggested uninstalling both versions and reinstalling only one, etc, etc. I tried many things with no success (as a software engineer I was totally frustrated at the lack of a solution).

No, I don't know how to fix it.
In the end, after many hours of investigation, I decided to drop it, and we did all further work on the older laptop (which runs Win 98). I was never able to get my laptop to properly load working code into the RC anymore.

Sorry for the lack of help. I guess you could try uninstalling and reinstalling, but I am afraid that it is not lilkely to help. My best advice is try using a different computer to load the code.

Good luck!
