    Yes. Tried it, but had the same results. Though that's assuming I'd done it correctly.

    I'm on 7 but I think its similar in the device manager, never used Vista.

    Plug you usb to serial in the usb on lappy, dont plug into box yet.

    Click Start (Bottom Left)
    Right click on Computer then click on manage
    Click on Device manager
    You should see Ports (com Ltp) to the right
    Click on Ports (Com Ltp)
    Usb to serial should appear with a port number (note the port number)
    Right click it
    Click on properties

    It should say device working properly
    Click on Port Settings at the top

    Change the bit per second to 11200 data bits to 8 stop bits to 1

    Press OK

    Close all windows.

    Open STB Loader and make sure the null cable is secure in back of box before entering the software and the correct port number you noted into the loader.

    Yes, I think so. Only had 2 to choose from. The one does nothing, the other leads back to the same 'The downloading is not requested' message. Well, at least the way I had tried to do it.

    Thanks DW190. I'll try giving that a go, as that is something I don't remember having done. There maybe something there I've missed.

    I've tried it from power right off, or from standby Cactikid. I've tried many things, but keep getting the same result

    If one port is doing nothing and the other is doing something (download not requested) and your computer tells you the "device is working properly". Using the process of elimination, either the settings are wrong Bits & data bits or the null cable is not connecting.

    You live anywhere near Bolton. Be easier to flash it for you than all this two finger typing.

    No. Didn't get the cable with it. I already had that. The drivers are installed for the USB adapter too. I will go back over all of that though then, just to be sure. But both my laptop, and PC seem to end up saying the same things.

    You sure its Null Modem?

    Have you used it for anything else?
