I hold down the reset and click upload. Then when the message apperes
I count / say to myself "one and two" after the message before releasing the button.
I find that if you hit it too quickly after the message then it won't work.
True, that is why I did as Stanley suggested and place a 0.1 uf capacitor between pin 1 (reset) and the DTR pin of the programmer.
Always successful !!!
