This morning I tried to download a program to my bs2, and recieved the prompt "No BS2 Found" invalid com port.
I have never had this problem and could use some help.· Thanks in advanced.

    If you're running off batteries, they may be dead. This kind of error is almost always a power or cable problem and has little to do with the BS2 itself.

    You may have that port open in another program (e.g. Hyperterminal, another instance of the BASIC Stamp Editor, etc.). If so, close the other program and try again.

    Thanks Guys.· I think it is definetly a cable problem.· I am using a USB to rs232 converter and I checked my com ports in device manager.· I found that the drivers are missing, or corrupted but don't Know how to fix the problem.· Any Ideas.
