Hi,

To be honest I don´t have an answear for you, but since you haven´t gotten a reply I´ll throw in a few things that i would try..

Firstly have you managed to fix the problem?

If not then,

Do you have another setup/board on which you can try to configure from the same PC?

Are you able to configure via JTAG?

Can you try configuring with a different USB balster cable?

What were the circumstances of the PC crash? Anything serious like power surge or something?

I know I´m shooting in the dark a bit. Let us know how you get on.

Good luck
