Help connecting to Robophilo

I am building a Robophilo Kit. I am at the stage where I need to make connection to the robot with a PC. I have taked the following steps:
Copied the RoboPhilo CD to my hard disk
Ran dotnetfx amnd installed .net 2.0 from MS
Ran vcredist_x86 to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1
Connected serial cable to a usb port with the cable provided
I can run the Philo program
I can select a COM port. I can verify that a new COM port # appears when I connect, and I select that port #
I can enter the philo-motion file and it is accepted and after a little bit I get an OK that it is loaded
At this point when I go to the fine tuning tab, I can enter position values for the servos, but nothing happens...
Any advice for how to troubleshoot this situation would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Paul
