AVRStudio can be a bit unstable, and if you get connection problems or peculiar
behaviour, try unplugging USB cable, cycling power on STK200 board and
sometimes closing and re-opening AVRStudio software.
Occasionally, you may need to restart PC to reset everything, but usually just
closing AVRStudio works.
