edit: i tried them and same, and i must install flip to get a pilot for retrode2 can't install alone ... don't know why, maybe upgrade failed ?

Thanks for the information. Seems like there is something screwed up in your device definition. Windows stores all devices that it ever found on any of the USB ports permanently in its registry (I guess even with multiple entries for different ports). I'd suggest you skip through the registry editor, and delete all occurrences of the Retrode's VID:PID pair (I'd search for the string "97C1", and look out for hits in combination with "0403"). This should make Windows forget everything it thought it knew about the device. Then, you reconnect the Retrode and try not to interrupt the enumeration until it's done.

EDIT: No need to do this. There's something wrong with the firmware flashing procedure, apparently.

Wait a second, it detects the AT90USB646 bootloader? That should never happen; have you reset/reconnected the device at all?

On your first machine, what messages do you get from FLIP? Is the "verify" step successful?

[Colargol]

yes verify pass,
i show you how i do this:

Are you sure you are loading a firmware file at all? In "Flash Buffer Information", it should show a size of 33KB or so, and a proper checksum.

You have to load the firmware from a directory that has no special characters in the path. It is very likely that FLIP can't deal with the 'é' in Multimédia.
