I am trying to upgrade my empeg hijack kernel. i currently have v265 and i want to upgrade to v291, I am running windows 2000 Professional build 2195. i have installed the newest version of emplode beta13, but whenever i try to upgrade using beta13 emplode or v41 of jemplode it always says No Device Found. and whenever i use Empeg Logo Editor v1.4 it says "Error: Failed to open COM port." is there a specific setting i have to have my com port set to? its COM2. i dont remember having these problems last time i tried to upgrade from the original kernel when i purchased my Mpeg Mark2a. this same com port was used for an IRDA device for my palm pilot to upload items to and from my PC. could this have affected the com port? i just unplugged the device and plugged the serial cable provided with the empeg to the empeg but it doesnt recognize that its there....please let me know your suggestions all you empeg masters out there!
