The error you mention usually happens because of a corrupted or improper vesion CONFIG__.BIN file.
First off I'd check to see if you are running at least Version 1.06 of the programming software to make certain that you are writing the proper CONFIG__.BIN file onto the SD card. You can still, so far, go to the GRE site and download a copy of the current software if you needit. I'd then do a re-install of the software to make certain that it was actually installed properly and you didn't just happen to have had a glitch thefirst time around. The next thing I'd do would be to check that the micro SD card to SD card adapter connections, SD card to USB writer adapter connections are all good. After doing that I'd first use the previously recomended 3rd party SD card formating software to do an initial formatting followed by doing the scanner software's prepare scanner memory, SD card for use using the "Quick Format" option followed by writing the scanner programing options to the card. I'd also do that to both the original MicroSD card & whatever brand MicroSD card you've bought as a `replacement' for the original as a sort of `belt-n-suspenders' scenario.
