Apologies for the elementary question, but with 3.033xa running (and even that was installed by the factory, after service) I obviously don't do this very often. Now trying to go to xe.

I'm using an old Windows XP laptop with a cable from the O-2's serial port to a laptop USB port through an adapter. After trial and error I found that COM3 did not give me a "Port not found" error, so I'm using that. The "Ten-Tec Flash32 Flash Update Utility" seems to be running, and the laptop screen shows a "11175 total data lines in file" message. A couple of the laptop lights are blinking; one looks like a disk icon and another like a battery.

But there's no action showing on the Orion screen --- just "FLASH UPDATE MODE" and "Press any key to exit." From previous work I remember progress being shown on the O2 screen, as the manual says it should be.

Suggestions?
