Is the version of Emplode on your PC the same version of the player software on your reserve unit?

If you never upgraded your reserve player, it likely has 1.02 on it. So, even downgrading Emplode to 1.03 may not be enough. What I would try is uninstall all versions of Emplode from your PC. Then, install the newest beta of Emplode. Then, upgrade your reserve player to the newest beta of the player software.
