    The Stamp download protocol is very sensitive to timing and virtual com ports tend to disrupt this, particularly when the connection is wireless. What kind of unit are you using for the Stamp end of the com port?

    Hello,

    High latency on the Serial Port, especially with the DTR line can cause issues with programming and identifying the BASIC Stamp. Communication itself may work, however. You might want to see if there is a setting in the VCP driver for latency and reduce it to the lowest setting. If there is one for FIFO, disable it as this too can cause trouble. Take care.
