error message: "Grbl has not finished booting" Using Universal G code sender

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

I am having issues using universal G code sender with Grbl.
My com. ports and bought rates matchup for the Arduino and the universal G code sender, universal G code sender says the connection is good.
When I try to type in G code and enter it I come up with the message error "Grbl has not finished booting"
I have deleted and re-downloaded both the G code sender and Arduino numerous times to no avail.
I used X loader to flash the Arduino with the Grbl software I have also repeated this numerous times to no avail.

I am using Arduino Uno latest version software,The current version of Grbl, Windows 7 professional, Xeon processor, Nvidia graphics card.
In the Arduino tools menu/programmer I am using "Arduino as ISP" the only other option I see that I think might be viable is"Arduino ISP".

FYI. I am new to Arduino and Grbl, I am well-versed in G code and would very much like to be able to use G code with my Arduino as opposed to learning another language.
Thank you, and any help would be very much appreciated.

Are you using the version that you compile yourself, of a hex version?

Using version 0.9i, I've not had this problem if I compiled Grbl myself and downloaded it to an Arduino, but I do have a cheap Chinese laser engraver that gives the same message.

I have not had time to dig into the laser engraver to see the issue, nor try the latest 1.1 release.

I am using version .9 of GRBL, I do think I have resolve my problem, after loading G RBL to the Arduino library I had failed to use upload to actually load the program this seems to have solved my problem. I am new at this and my problem was my ignorance. If this helps you any, good
