*LoadCMOS should take several seconds to work. If it doesn't, try
again. Sometimes it returns immediately, and doesn't work. This
appears to be a problem with *LoadCMOS. You'll notice that when it
works, you get an hourglass for about 10 seconds.
Note that since the SaveCMOS bit seems to work every time, you can't
go wrong with this process - just click the LoadCMOS (last step)
button again until you get the lengthy load.
