Wow....
Mate I warning many times in the forum about this chinase clone sthat comes with fw 1.45
This tools it has an Chinese MCU not a real Microchip PIC18F458
This measn that if you try to upgrade or downgrade it you'll block it
The only solution for this tools is to change the Chinese MCU with a real microchip PIC18F458 and flash it
But this is not all
You'll need to make some PCB modification
The PCB opcom ver6 it is diffrent because of this new chinese MCU
I will say as allway GOOD LUCK but you had bad luck

Strange I can update firmware np and downgrade as well but I have put 1.45 firmware on and program cannot find drivers for it . I run driver.exe file and it installes files to a temp folder I cannot find on pc . So when I try to upgrade driver for new opcom12 it just reinstalls older drivers.
any help on where new drivers are located on win xp 32 ?

[domelec]

I just went to the drivers folder and ran the exe
Also had to have dotnet installed

After test, I can give confirmation that clone interface hardware PCB version 6.0 with fw 1.45 works on 8/2010 software
and v120309a (2012) software from here:
