so i have modded a few boxes for myself, all is well. and this moron friend of mine decides he doesn't need my help and goes it alone....breaks his first box. and now comes crawling to me......hands me a new box, x2 lite 2.1 and a programmer......and the chip isn't working like it should, i think he tried to program it and messed it up, so i am attempting to at least read the bios on the chip to see what it is (note the box will not boot with this chip at all).........so i have never messed with this printerport programmer deal and i'm having an awful amout of trouble..... i have done my research (i hope) and i have the x2cable, x2bm and x2lite flasher all in the samer folder....and i can manage my way around it with some sense of what i am doing.....but when ever it tries to communicate with the external reader - the x2cable thing dies, i get a polite message from microcrap saying it failed and if i want to send a message alerting them of their failure......anyway, this happens on my PC and my laptop, what am i doing wrong, does this not work with XP, am i missing something? thanks for you time. -G
