Close Cheers Alen --- Quote End --- Well, I'm just not able to get the USB-Blaster to install on my XP machine... It's driving me crazy... The best I can get to is a screen that shows a code(10) error.http://www.running2win.com/images/usb-blaster.jpg (http://www.running2win.com/images/usb-blaster.jpg) Nothing seems to work. I tried the zip file and I get a message saying "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." I really need to be able to work from home but I feel like I've tried everything.
