ESPFlashDownloadTool_v3.6.1.0.exe

Can not seem to get the firmware download tool to communicate with the ESP8266.

This version of the download tool has a MINIMUM Baud rate setting of 115200.
I cannot try a slower speed because it's not available in the dropdown menu and I can't type it in.

I tried changing the ESP8266 configuration file and saved it but it made no difference.

How can I tell if that's the problem if there's no way to try a slower baud rate?
