Using AvProg to programing AVNET Spartan-3A Evaluation Kit in Windows XP(SP2)

AvProg does not establish communication with the target Spartan-3A
Evaluation board on Windows PCs that are running in the non-English
language mode setting. otherwise you will be get "FPGA programming failed!"

The work-around for this is documented in the Avnet Programming
Utility User Manual and the Kit Errata. Both are posted on the Avnet
Design Resource Center (www.em.avnet.com/spartan3a-evl).

To correct this problem, you must change the “Language for non-Unicode
programs” on the host system to English. Follow the instructions
below to do this on a Windows XP system:

a. Launch the Control Panel from the Start Menu.
b. Double-Click Regional and Language Options.
c. Select the Advanced tab.
d. Select English in the list box, as shown below.
e. Click the OK button.

OK, good luck to you!
