ok so i uninstalled java, installed java 64 bit and ran the program and it pretty much acted the same (below shows me trying to upload twice, download then change memory bank...and repeat...just to see if anything would work)

as you can see it wasnt happy about not being able to find rxttxSerial so I renamed rxtxSerial64.dll to rxtxSerial.dll and that message went away and it loaded nicely..............but the continued to act the exact same when I try and upload/download.
