Sounds like we have the same problem. I just noticed there are several threads on here with no response from line 6

Try that thread. Didn't work for me but seems to have for others.

This is a bug in Line 6 Monkey 1.50. We suggest downloading and using Monkey 1.43 to update your Flash Memory, it can be downloaded from the link below:
Monkey 1.43 Windows:
http://line6.com/getrelease?rid=4223
Monkey 1.43 Mac:
http://line6.com/getrelease?rid=4222
When the update asks if you would like to save presets, select 'NO' and continue with the update. This should resolve the issue. The other option is you can download and use Monkey 1.43 and use it to update your Flash Memory:
The other option is to stay with Monkey 1.50 and when the update asks if you would like to save presets, select 'NO' and continue with the update. Make sure to back up your custom presets before updating your POD's firmware using the instructions at the link below:

Once the firmware has been successfully updated to v1.40, you will need to perform a Global Settings reset and a pedal calibration using the instructions at the link below:

This suggestion is ridiculous, as when you install Monkey 1.43, it makes you auto-update to 1.53. If you don't, monkey will not load. Either way, I can't update the firmware.
Line 6, you guys need to get on this issue NOW. Many of us customers are having this issue, and we did NOT spend 500 dollars for this product just to have your software not work. FIX THIS!
If you hadn't figured it out, I have the same problem. Monkey 1.53 will not update the drivers for HD500. I tried using 1.43, obviously, but ran into the problem stated--I simply can't use it because it makes me update the program before it will load. Without the drivers, I CAN NOT connect my HD500 to Monkey, and CAN NOT get the updated patches. This is ridiculous.

Same exact issue here. I'm getting ready to sell this crap and buy a Splawn.
