It's a small outfit and very helpful, you'll likely be put through to

Check to be sure another program is not using the com port. A variety of
other programs use the com port. I have a presentation program and a keypad
that both use the com port and cause problems. Just close the program using
the port and it will be freed up. If it isn't that, I don't know the
answer.

For my own curiousity, why do you want to?

Check for other devices using the same port. I had a very similar problem
with my Citizen HyperAqualand. It turned out to be my Palm Hot Sync
software that created the conflict. Turning the Palm software off while I
did my downloads solved my problem. Perhaps your problem is as simple.

Here is one more thing to try. Clean all the contact points. Sometimes the
connectors have a coating on the pins or on the contact portion of the
female end that prevents making good contact. A rubber eraser will work on
exposed areas to clean the surface. Just rub gently with the eraser and
clean the dust up. If you can't get at the contact points, try to plug in
and out sufficient times that any film would be removed. Try to hit every
contact point.

I try also brand new cable same result.

Thank you any way :)

One thing to try is to use a USB-to-serial adapter. The Nitek
downloader is powered by the signal lines on the serial port of the
computer. These days not all serial ports are compatible with that
method. It violates the serial port standard anyway, but sometimes works.

I have found that many newer computers, especially laptops, will work
better with the USB-to-Serial adapter. That's what I use these days and
it works much better.

Good luck.
