That message generally means the executable has been corrupted. I've just downloaded it an and it executes ok, so I recommend you download it again and retry as a first step.

Had something similar when setting up the megajolt. Are you using a USB to Serial cable? I was as laptop did not have a serial port. Tried various things, new cable, changed chip etc. no joy. So dug out old PC with serial connector. Connected up with serial to serial cable, downloaded first time.

You can power up the megjolt with 9v battery at your desk and download this way. Does not need to be in the car. Also once loaded you can revert back to the USB to serial cable and use laptop to communicate with megajolt it was only when you were trying to download the new version.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Arnie
