I have had a certain project(s) that have been running for a year or so, due to the initial high costs of this project, it was decided to spread it over a number of financial years (budget costs ect!). Anyway when I first started the project I specified a Siemens TP 27-10 touch screen, now a year and half down the line, I asked our stores manager to purchase the last 2 units required. He came back to me and said that the price for the TP 27-10's has risen by nearly £1000! But our local supplier stated that we can now get the 'newer' TP 270-10 for the price of the old TP 27-10 before the price hike!
This I agreed to, ok it meant I had to re-write the 'screens' and change a little of the original configuratioon, but that was not a problem.
Today the screens arrived in our stores, I promptly 'nicked' one and took it up to my office to play with it. After several attempts to establish communications between the screen and my PG720 via serial link I gave up on that and set up comms via MPI, this worked, so I tried to download my project to the screen. The download went swimmingly until it got to file number 54 of 54, then I got a message box pop up telling me "Internal error", that was the end of the download. I had a fiddle with the memory settings on the screen and tried again, all to no avail. By this time I was pulling my hair out, (plus it was past my time to leave work!), I have searched the Siemens support web site and found no help, I have read and reread the TP270 manual (which I downloaded from the siemens site as soon as I found out that I would be using these screens) again I found no help in there.
I am obviously missing something here, so out of desperation I turn to you guys for assistance. Hopefully someone will say:- "Paul, do blah blah blah and it should work".
Any ideas?

P.S Sorry for waffling on, but I like to give a bit of background information when possible.
