Yeah I made mine the same way tonight, but will not do bootloader. I installed giveio.sys onto Xp and still nothing, it keeps saying "Mismatched microcontroller are you sure you selected the right board" or something like that. It is on Arduino Decimilia.

Oh and made my Guino display "1991 Metro Xfi MPG Gauge" tonight, instead of the normal startup.
