John, Check your DHCP server resp. the Attached Devices list for the IPv4 address assigned to each switch. Use a Web browser and connect by http on port 80 to each IP address. I'd expect to see a Load Mode in the Web UI on the suspect bricked switch - from here you can upload the effective switch image, the GS108EV3_V2.00.12.bin resp. the JGS516PE_GS116Ev2_V2.0.1.40.bin to be extracted from each ZIP archive.
When it comes to the ProSafe Plus Utility: It's hard to say what makes it's tftp server fail on a "random" machine out there. Could be an already active tftp server on the system, could be a firewall or any of these "Internet Security" packages silently prohibiting the service, whatever.
