Help flashing DB500C

[bauhaus]

Hi everyone.
I dusted off my 500c and wanted to flash it but my 2 PCs and 2 laptops don't have a RS232 socket!
I have a USB/RS232 Serial adapter cable but, when I start dreamUp I always get an error message like "cannot find COM port" so I don't think it is working.
Anything else I could do?

Install the driver
Digital Kaos - Downloads - R232 USB TO SERIAL CABLE DRIVER

Take note not all USB to COM converter will work.

Hi Arraysys, you were right!
I downloaded the driver for W7 but the PC still cannot see the dreambox!
