I was doing the update for the Zx-24a and closed the update by accident. I got a message that says 'Device failed to respond to ATN character (4) on COM1' like some other people before.

I then tried to use my Zx-24 processor but got the same message. I would like to try the emergency update procedure but I do not know which file is the zload utility file to enter the code
zload -c1 -e zx24a_3-2-0.zvm. What extension does it have?

I loaded zload.exe in the command prompt and when i enter
'zload -c2 -e zx24a_2-3-0.zvm' it says 'Can't open COM2' and the same if i change the to other COM ports.

The same thing also happen when I try to do it for zx-24

Check that some other application is still not using COM2. It is possible that there is an instance of ZLOAD or ZBASICIDE still running - check the Windows task manager.

I was able to do the emergency update on another computer. I also had to deselect the 'Use ATN character' on the 'serial port options' after to get it to communicate. It is working now. Thanks everyone for your help

Had you been using the "ATN character" method of downloading your programs?

I am not sure if I used the 'ATN character' method to download before. It may have been that I was selecting different options to try to get it to work after it crashed and forgot to deselect it.
