Marsye,
We have the exact same popper and have a newer microwave. DH said to tell you that it won't work if you use the popcorn setting on your microwave. What you have to do is set it for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on full power. (He said something technical about the newer microwaves sensing the moisture and it doesn't work that way with the popper). ;-)
Hope this works for you.

I have one, too, and LOVE it! I don't use oil with it and the little paper bottom lasts forever. I, too, do it for 2 1/2-3 minutes rather than the popcorn setting. In fact, I had to go look - yip my micro has a popcorn setting!!! hmmm never looked before. My micro is a year old, so I suspect that's your problem, too.
