Code update from a laptop won't work: try an older PC set up for the update
Updating the game code over the update cable from a modern Windows laptop can fail even when following a tutorial. Here the update would not run from a Windows 7 laptop but went through without trouble from an older Windows XP laptop. Alternatives members suggested are a prepared update card or a PC already set up with the right drivers.
