Need HELP with Basic Atom Pro 28-M with Mini Atom Bot Board

I bought a bot board and a Basic Atom Pro 28 pin chip (got it September 18th, 2006). When i turn the power on the LEDs come on and stay on and the speaker makes a noise once on reset of the chip and then a few seconds later start making a repeatedly clipping sound. - From what I gather this is a factory default program.

So I tried to get rid of it. When I connect the board/chip to my PC the atom program does find the atom chip on COM 1. However, when I program it I get an error: “Error connecting to ATOM: Operation completed successfully.” and the factory default program is still there…Where is the problem? I use the serial cable from Lynxmotion and I only have the one Serial Port on my PC. I could really use your help.

Here is my Code:

red con p4
green con p5
yellow con p6

main

pause 500

clear

low green
sound 9,[100\4200,100\4300,100\4400]
high green

pause 200
low red
pause 200
high red

goto main
End

Can’t Connect The new Atom Pro chip isn’t recognized by the Pro IDE.
Fix: Try going to tools, preferences, advanced, and change the reset hold time to 25.

Thank you for your help. The Can’t Connect Fix did it!
