Which USB cable are you using?
What is your O/S?

 

[BeanieBots]

Also, is it a production board, or homebrew?
What are you using for power?

The more you can tell us, the less we need to guess.

I think you might find this thread useful

also searching the archives for "connection *08M*", "USB *08M* problem"...

Though i usually find searching google with "+ picaxe" usually yields better search results

have you got the little jumper on the wrong pins? or even not on at all... this is something I did a whole lot and it caused the same error... if not do you have the model and correct port selected under the options menu?
