AAAAHHHHH
I keep getting this error 53 - File not found followed by 'the following path is invalid - C:\Program Files\Programming Editor\picprog\picaxe08 (or whichever picaxe device / file is being used)
And YES I have checked the forum for this error and YES I have checked the filename / path (I'm sure capital letters don't matter - the above path is copied and pasted from my laptop!!)
It seems intermittent - a blank file will download, then a program will not (even a 1 liner) then the blank file won't even download. I reload the picaxe program and the blank file now downloads.
I reinstall the software (4.1.11) and it all seems to work, UNTIL I close the program, reload it and now a blank program works and now it doesn't.
This is driving me nuts as I look pretty silly when demonstrating this to my Year 11's after getting the program to work in the morning and then an hour later it says ERROR 53 - AAAAAHHHH.
I'm running XP SP2 on a Dell Latitude. It used to work fine on 2000.
PLEASE PLEASE help me sort this out - I'm not the only one with this problem.
