Sometime HotSync and other applications can cause this problem. Also you need to shut down your firewalls and Antivirus Software. Last but not least, you have the correct cable so cable is not the issue. |

The Pansat loaders don't usually go above COM4. Also, check you system log ( Start -> control panel -> Administrative tools -> Event viewer) to help troubleshoot. Make sure your control panel is set to "classic view". |
