IFI Loader Question

We have not been able to get the robot to run since when we first plugged it in. Ever since I have edited the code and sent the new code to the robot.. it hasn't been moving. None of the motors are running. Ive tried the default code, Ive tried switch PWM ports, Ive tried everything. When we move the joysticks, the PWM01 and PWM02 lights arn't lighting up either. WE did get it running for a bout 1 minute. Then it stopped then next time I loaded the program.

I noticed there is the IFI Loader 1.1.0. Right now we are using 1.0.2 Or whatever that version was. It was dowloading it to the robot, so I thought it was alright. Then I realized that may be the problem. When I tried installing the new IFI Loader, it said my system files are out of date, and I needed to hit ok and restart the computer to update them. I tried that and it didn't work. Does it mean that I need Windows SP2? I am trying to install SP2 for Windows over night. Other than that.,, what other files would need to be updated? And could this be the reason the bot isn't running?
