It appears to be set to COM1 but I'm not an expert, what is the best way to check this?? Thanks for all the help on this

[wilf]

Press start button
Move mouse over My Computer to highlight it, then right hand mouse click
Then click on Manage
Double click on device manager
plug in usb
then you should see the ports(com& lpt) click on the plus sign at the side and it will drop
down and should say prolific serial usb to (com?) that ? number is what you need to select on the loader it has to match up.

Yea, it's Com1

[wilf]

right try this leave box switched off put the bin file in loader then press start then turn box on

[tge]

Tried that by switching box off at the back, switching it off using the remote cntrl then pressing start on the loader. It appears to search for about 5 secs but then comes up with the downloading was not requested

[wilf]

should be switched off at back so no power what so ever going to the box, if you have tried that do the device manager thing once more but put the usb in adifferent usb port on puter and try if that, if dont work you havent got the correct driver installed for the usb serial adapter

[tge]

Thanks mate, I'll take it to work tomorrow and try install the correct driver.

Can someone help me with this query.
If I get a Kryptview 750C will the channels automatically appear as they did with my old Eurovox or do I need to "Flash It"
Adn if I do need to flash it could I do it from a descktoip computer without having the TV connected to the Kryptview?
Any help would be appriciated as I am a novice with these things.......
