Something is just not right. Have you tried reading the "other" manual...
http://reeftech.webs.com/ much better instructions in here in regards to programming and updating. Your modules should not read "OLD" it will cause problems. Have you tried getting support from RC in the neptune thread, all the right people lurk there including the guy that designed the system. Also send Curt a email at Neptune, their customer support is top notch and so is their warrenty services should it come to that.

Well I finally got the display to accept the firware update and everything seems to be working fine! The problem I was having before was it would hang at 30% complete and seem to stall, instead of fooling with it I just left it alone an went out for a bit, when I came home... voila! It was done. Finally the module is "OK" instead of "Old" and by the way the EB8 is working, that was the glitch. It may have been Windows 7, Internet Explorer security settings, who really knows. All that matters is (fingers crossed) it's fixed. A huge thanks for the help and comments, nice to know people are there to help! Take care all.

let me give you something to live by as an IT guy
When something says firmware upgrade, try everything else before you have to upgrade the firmware. As an IT guy, that is the last thing I want to do.
Second, if you have to do a firmware upgrade, make sure its not on a stormy day or any day you may lose power or something might go wrong. And never interupt a firmware upgrade, even if its taking days.

firmware upgrades can make paper weights, and by that i mean you can have this nice fancy piece of equipment and you do a firmware ugprade and the power goes out, and boom, you have a nice paper weight. most IT guys cringe when they hear firmware upgrade.
