[avrdude-dev] AVRdude freezes

[el3ktr1k]

I am having trouble transferring a program to my ATmega168 using avrdude.
Usually it freezes in the middle of the write. I posted below an example of
what might happen. It then just freezes before the program is fully
transferred. Can someone offer some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
I am using 
Windows XP pro SP3. Thanks for any help.
