avr_fred:
Totally different screens than you posted. Avrdude v5.11 was packaged with the download. What version do you have?
you mean the verbose output ?
sorry, i didn't mention i truncated the top parts which were exactly the same;

i have again left out some parts - all those Send: and Recv: [xx] lines
the version is the same v5.11 - and FWIW, i had to "cd_" to the directory to run the .exe, couldn't run it from any other directory (PATH-related issue ?).
also; while trying out Ladyada's tutorial on avrdude; i did try (from the command line) running
avrdude -c asdf
but the response was;
avrdude: can't open config file ""; No such file or directory
avrdude: error reading system wide configuration file
that 'asdf' was on purpose (by Ladyada) so that it responds with a list of supported programmers.
