AC Thanks for your assurances, will try again tomorrow.

I have found Microsoft.NET Framework v4.0.30319, I presume I don't have to actually do anything with it? Even so, trying all afternoon, just continually get Error in Elite Comm. I have tried 30 second waits between each step, still no go. I'm losing the will.... Apologies for wasting your time...

Thanks for your help. I'll see what I can do...and report back!

Afraid I'm still in the dark. I have Windows 10, I use Chrome, where must I look on my Desktop?

RAF. That's o.k. I have tried pressing all sorts of button combinations. Has worked on occasion in the past, not this time...

Thanks both. RAF I had thought of a reset, but my screen is blank, pressing Menu or any other button has no effect, just dead. I have always checked which Com port I'm connected to, they vary depending which USB socket I'm trying. AC Not sure what .NET is. Think my updates are up to date, but how do I check for this?

Further to the above, following an earlier unsuccessful try, my Elite now has a blank screen, only the green light at Loco showing. Perhaps a return to Hornby?

Still no success. Thought it might be the USB cable, but tried a new one from my unused Elink pack, still no go.I've seen reference to HP computers causing trouble to this update, any truth in this? Mine is a G62 laptop, Windows 10, about 3 years old...I've followed your instructions explicitly, waiting about 30 seconds between each step, still getting Error in Elite Comm. Have tried all three USB ports, 2 are USB2 the other USB3.Can't think what else to try,... some of us haven't got a lot more time to waste in this way!

Thanks both for your replies. RAF Perhaps I haven't been waiting long enough between each step. Otherwise, I think I have followed your instructions properly. Chrissaff I have bookmarked the instructions you have given, also downloaded the latest update zip files you refer to. I'll give your instructions another try, see how it goes. Thanks both.

I have been unsuccessful in updating my Elite, even following Ralphy5's explicit instructions, and running the update file as administrator. I have tried both updates, i.e. V1.42 and V1.43, (I see they are both listed as “Bootloader”), most times I get “Error In Elite Comm”, very occasionally it states “downloading” but the bar beside the number showing the PC type selected just flashes and no download bar indication. I have tried both 1 and 2 for the PC type. In Device Manager, Ports show RIM Virtual Serial Port v2 (com 4), I presume this is for connecting my Blackberry Playbook. On connecting my Elite, it also shows USB Serial port COM1). I can't see the problem, any advice would be appreciated. Incidentally, the Elite STOP button seems to have 3 settings, press the top section, one click, press the bottom section, one click, press the centre, first one click, then further pressure another click. Is this normal? Thanks.
