I've never had that issue and i've been running FP2 on 3 sites now. are you sure you are using the right WindBa version? I think you can download the newest version off of there website. I use Hyperterm or flash programming for just about everything. when i build or have significant changes i download the file from hyperterm, import it in windba, and make the changes and then i upload that database to a .dnl file and upload it in hyperterm. I've had a lot of flakey stuff happen with windba
