Did you download connect LeapFrog Connect

Download and install Leapfrog connect. If it doesn't download, there's an offline download option available. After installing it, connect your leappad ultra with the usb cable to the pc. power it on. it should get connected. If it doesn't maybe your anti virus software is blocking it. If this happens, go to your antivirus software settings and under firewall rules, select allow for leapfrog connect .exe. Then it should detect your leappad ultra. Go to left hand top corner , select My Products. Then select your leappad ultra. Then goto Settings on the right top corner and in the pop up, select Reset. It will take around 15 - 20 mins to reset it. All data will be erased.

(You will be asked for a location to save the files. Save them to your Desktop or to another folder that you can easily find.)
4. After the files are extracted, find the "LeapFrogTagFixTool" folder on your Desktop (or where you saved the extracted files).
5. Open the folder and double-click the "TagFixTool.exe" file to open the LeapFrog Tag Repair Utility program.
6. Connect your Tag Reader to the computer. (Make sure your toy is powered on.)
7. To start the repair process, click the "Click once to fix your Tag Reader or Tag Junior" button.
8. Once the repair process is complete, follow steps printed on the screen to close the program and open LeapFrog Connect.

1) Please run the LeapFrog Utility http://lfccontent.leapfrog.com/cs/utilities/LeapFrog_Connect_Utility.exe
2) Select "Clear LeapFrog Connect User Data"
3) Start the LeapFrog Connect application and wait until the message center indicates that all Leapster Explorer Updates have been downloaded.

Instead of 1 starter game and a few demo game that you get from Leapfrog Connect, you can also get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2. You can get it here:
leapster-2.blogspot.com
But you have to make sure your Leapster 2 have SD Card and your Leapster 2 can connect to PC using Leapfrog connect. Try to uninstall and re-install the LeapFrog Connect and wait until it finish configuring and updated the software both on the PC and the console, It may takes 10-20 mins for it to complete updating.

One more thing, you have to make sure that you get latest LeapFrog Connect software from LeapFrog website instead of installing it from supplied CD.

You need to re-connect your Leapster 2 to your PC. You have to make sure that the software is already updated both in the PC and in the console. Try to uninstall and re-install the LeapFrog Connect and wait until the software has been configured and update automatically which is until you see the status in LeapFrog Connect screen is "connected". You need to wait at least 10-20 mins for it to be completed I'm afraid.

One more thing, make sure you get the latest LeapFrog Connect Software from LeapFrog website instead of installing it from the supplied CD.

BTW, you can get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2 here:
