I have a Toshiba Satellite, 512 MB Ram, 2.6 Ghz P4, XP Home SP1

I have had problems with the loader, too. In My case, a legacy device claims an IRQ that COM2 uses. But mine just locks up.

Common Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Check What port your cable is connected to, and what COM Loader is using
2. Change What port your using
3. Check your hardware settings (Turn FIFO buffers off, just in case)
4. Reboot
5. Reinstall IFI_Loader
6. Recompile
7. E-mail IFI. they're real nice.

Some not-so-common Steps:
8. Remove unnecesary hardware (Modems frequently take the place of a COM port)
9. Barrow your friend's boot drive and use that (put hex on floppy)
10. Try safe mode
11. Is it actually a COM port?
12. Remove COM Mice (Use PS/2 or USB, if you can)
13. Check Bot
14. Check cable
