Reply to 1.3 firmware upgrade problems

I recieved my upgrade kit yesterday and have been trying to flash the firmware over with a USB to serial but i always get the message below. I have checked the COM Port number etc. I have adjusted the delay to 1000 and other numbers above but no luck. I believe i have gone over everything in the solutions thread. Please help!
