Need Help!

My g-code sender is not communicating with Arduino uno when I give it commands. I followed the instruction at the wiki site and nothing happens. I have Windows 8 and Arduino its recognized/working correctly. This topic took me to the Xloader and its been uploading Grbl08 basic file for a while.

What am I missing?

THE XLoader didn't work but I found the Arduino uploader that did...or so I thought. The command promote window closes to quickly to see if its successful or not. When I go back into the g code sender, it beeps and nothing happens.

Please start a new topic. This thread is just a guide to go look at the existing help.
I would also suggest that you include me information about your setup. You really haven't given us anything to work with.

Which is suppose to be ok but then I open the g code sender and nothing happens. I put open in the program and nothing. Not even an error just nothing. Cant figure out whats wrong. Did I dO something wrong? PLEASE HELP
