[sscanf]

Hi Norm,

I'm not really a windows guy but we have no choice.... I'll suggest the obvious before anyone else does:

1. Make sure nothing else is running, including the stuff that is displayed in the little box in the lower right hand corner. I had to kill off my plam hotsync manager to get the loader to work (but it didn't work at all until then).

2. Check the cable, try a different cable.

3. Check the port/pins (my brother once had a little tiny piece of celophane create a miserable day for him). Try a different one if possible.

4. Check the battery on the controller. Maybe its borderline?

5. Hold your breath and cross your fingers.

It seems like the port settings can't be tweaked (parity, etc.) so that couldn't be a problem. Right? This is what has given me problems when dealing with other controllers.

Good luck.
