Can anyone recommend a basic compiler for atmel avr that actually works?

I am right now using bascom, or, should I say, trying to, which, evenon this forum was touted by some to be the best. Well, I've beenstruggling with it for almost 3 days now, and it just won't send theprogram to my chip. Of course bascom does not support the trialversion. There is one lady who has been trying to help me, but to noavail. I have tried everything I can think of. I can compile the codeok, but then I cannot send it to the chip thru bascom. An error messageshows up and stays on screen for all of about 60 milliseconds. I knowbecause in order to read it, I had to use my dv camera and record thescreen, and then play it back frame by frame. The error message justsays to see the log above. Trouble is, there is no log above. So far Ihave only been able to send it using avrstudio. It uses the hex file,but even that's not so reliable. It kind of works when it feels likeit.So I seek the advice of those who have probably been there and donethat.TIA,Joe
