    your timing is off,using the wrong cable,or using the wrong version loader.
    You have to start the loader hit next then casually turn the receiver on.

    have you checked your com port setting (device manager)
    port settings
    bits per seconds :115200
    data bits :8
    parity :none
    stop bits :1
    flow control :Xon / Xoff
    if your settings are the above then Slugworth makes good sense. check loader is selected with a tick applied timing start software before switching receiver on at right moment 7-10sec

    a moot point,since the program itself takes control over the comport when used.
    I never mess with the windows default setting,which I believe are a lot different.
    the loader uses even parity BTW.

    loader needs a real rs232 port to function.

    Hi

    You can with a usb to serial adapter, for some people works fine for others it doesnt. What os system do you have on your lappie.

    Usually better to have a dedicated serial port.

    Regards
