hi,
i have a dm500 and every single image i try to flash comes up with error! upload aborted, even when i try to do the original
i have already tried to change the com port settings but there is no 56.000 setting available
although my box is a clone (i think) because it says electro multimedia on the front, i think i must be doing something wrong?
the box itself has no image on it at the moment so dreamup is my only option
someone please save me, been stuck with this dilemma for 3 months and about to give up hope!

ps im using a usb to serial converter and i have the correct drivers on because dreamup does recognise the box after a few tries

thank you

Same problem here, might have to buy a better cable, one with some support.

The USB to Serial converters tend to give many problems. I had the same problem of upload aborted while using the converter.Solution is to buy a PCI to Serial card and install it in your desktop PC. Guaranteed to work, tried it myself.
