[Edward Seeliger]

Good evening Jim - my problem has just appeared in the past few weeks. I have an AMD quad core processor. My antivirus is Windows Security Essentials.

It was suggested that my Anti-Virus software was causing the problem but even completely disabling AVG and turning off the firewall in Windows 7 Pro did not help so I'm in the same boat you are.  Others appear to have no problem even using the same op system.  My computer's processor is a 64 bit dual core AMD.  My workaround has been to download the firmware using FTP and manually move all the files into the proper directory.
