Are your drivers installed correctly?

You need to deselect "Boot in intelligent mode" in the VCDS settings.

Also, it doesn't hurt to install the VCP (virtual com-port) drivers as well, as they're needed for argdubs tool, and many others.

Try to uninstall the drivers. http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm

Get the latest and then try again. Let us know.

Use the newest drivers from the FTDI site - I use the Virtual ones, seem to work first time, every time. Using a cheap eBay copy.

Make sure your port number is right in device manager, if not, change it between 1 and 4.

I like it set at 3. If you switch USB ports, the port number sometimes changes, so try and always use the same port!
