I just got my SX kit LITE the other day and I have had problems programming it from the start.  I will try and provide as much info as possible on my situation:

- The error I get is SX-Key not found on COM1
- 90% of the time I get this error, the other 10%, it works fine after fooling with it or it starts to communicate, then cuts off.
- The serial cable is connected to COM1 for sure (I only have one serial port anyways)
- I have tried two cables, both program my Basic Stamp 2 with no problem
- I have tried this on two computers, both program my BS2 fine
- Power is getting to the SX-Key header from the Tech Board
- I am using a Tech Board
- The serial ports on both computers work fine with other serial devices
- No other program is using the serial ports at time of programming/debugging

Anyone have any idea what's wrong?  Generally, when it starts working, I have tried to program it many times before and have unplugged the Key and the power multiple times and in different orders.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
