Excellent writeup.
Im waiting on response from administrators because my screen is also redrawing every few seconds.
Jsears: Do you happen to know if the download formware will work on a mac computer?

No it won't. The "Downloader Tool" that is used to upload the firmware to the Intravee is an .exe file so it won't run on a Mac unless you run VMWare Fusion/Parallels or Boot Camp.

Intravee Update

Any computer experts out there?

Im trying to update the firmware on my intravee, but according to bimmernav I need to change the COM port in my laptop which is running Vista Home.
I cant find the Com Port under device manager.
Any input will be appreciated

1. Go to Device Manager (Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System, and it will be listed on the left under "Tasks" )
2. Click "Continue" when the pesky UAC pops up. :-(
3. Double click on "Ports (COM & LPT)" (note that this will only show up when connected to the command module!)
4. Double Click on "USB Serial Port (COMx)" (where x is the COM port currently assigned)
5. Click "Advanced" on the "Port Settings" tab
6. Change the assigned COM port, and click "OK" all the way out ...
