Error: Verification Error - - 0x00 transmitted but 0xFFFFFF80 received at byte 0

I could not understand the meaning of this and don't know how to resolve it. if any body have any idea how to troubleshoot this error pls help me ....

Welcome to the PICAXE forum.

Please do not post the same question in multiple areas.
as I have responded here , I have deleted you post from the installation thread.

Can you confirm whether you have an older 08M or a newer 08M2?
Do you have the correct chip selected in the PE?

Try adding
#PICAXE 08M2 - remove "2" if you have older chip.
At the start of your code

Could be a wiring error with no response detected from the PICAXE by the PE.

Is your download circuit as per page 27 in PICAXE manual 1
http://www.picaxe.com/docs/picaxe_manual1.pdf#page27

Maybe post the schematic as built /bought for your cable and download circuit and even a clear photo can be helpful

Could also be the battery voltage is low. Are the batteries fresh/new?
What is the voltage when the PICAXE is powered.

Verification errors are almost always power supply based - try new batteries and also check the download circuit around the 10k/22k carefully, making sure the 10k is on the computer (not PICAXE) side of the 22k.
