Wierd download problem

When I download one of my codes·to my basic stamp I sometimes get a message that there is a hardware problem and that I need to check the power supply and·USP cable. If this happens the download·eventually works· even if I do nothing but keep trying. It does not seem to happen with other codes· The code·is question is quite long - is this likely to be the·problem?··

    It should not be the lenght of the code (how long is it?). Make sure the power supply is O.K. If you are using batteries, see f they are fully charged. Also, like the error message says, check your USB and connections to the Stamp.
    Hope this helps, if not let us know

    Have you ever reduced the Latency Timer in the Device Manager?· If not, go into your Device Manager (Via Control Panel) and go down to the Ports category.· Click the + sign to open it up.· Double-Click the USB Serial Port entry.· Click on the Port Settings Tab, then Advanced.· Set the Latency Timer from 16 down to 1.· Click Okay.· Then Click Okay again on the properties window.· Let us know what happens.· Take care.
