you probably haven't got the correct xml definition for your rom.
did your laptop recognise the tactrix cable (openport 1.3) when you
plugged it in the usb port for the first time?

Ok so I don't think that it is recognizing the cable. When I plug it in and go to my computer nothing shows up. But if i put my flash drive in there it does show up. What do I need to do?

plug it in, go to control panel , add hardware
the pc will then scan and should find it and ask you if you'd like
it installed automically (recommeded)
click continue when a box pops up saying not xp verified

Ok, so the cable is recognized by my computer...... Is there something else? Could I be plugging in or turning on the key in the wrong order or something?
