I had a problem upgrading on Win2K. I thought the problem might be with the cable, but now I think it wasn't that at all.

I *did* get a new cable, but had the same difficulty on Win2K. I then had the bright idea of trying to upgrade on my Win98 laptop. This only produced a different connection error (at 0x25 rather than 0x0).

Then I remembered that on both my desktop and my laptop I have a driver for my Wacom tablet. When I used the Wacom utility to turn off my tablet, the connection and upgrade process worked smoothly.

(Note that the tablet and the empeg used the same serial port. I thought simply unplugging the tablet would be enough to signal to my computer not to use the driver. It wasn't.)

Long story short, everything turned out well and I only faced very minimal frustration.
