just installed my adapter(usb 2 to rs232 converter)..bought off ebay ..i had to connect it to my vista laptop then load the cd into the driver ,, was a little confusing but read the readme which says to pre install from cd then to unplug restart computer the attach to computer again and let windows install,, took a few minutes but it installed ok and managed to flash my box using dreamup... hope this helps others

setting to change your com settings

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) -> Prolific USB to Serial Bridge… at this point, take note of the COM number. Use that number when assigning the COM port



in your Device Manager and double click your USB to Serial adapter. Click Port Settings and then Advanced. You should then be able to select the COM port (1, 2, 3, or 4) being careful not to select a COM port already in use on your computer.

if u only have printer and com then change the com one in the drop down box

thanks for all your help as I need as much help as poss

Hi Harky,

Does dreamup start at all? Or does it come up with an error stating that COM port is not found. If dreamup starts but cannot communicate with the dreambox, some possible reasons are as follows:

There are a number of USB->RS232 adapters out there. Problem arises from some of them: 1. being non-bidirectional (i.e. doesn't let the dreambox communicate back to the PC) 2. reverse the polarity on one of the TX / RX lines.

First try the Null modem cable with a computer that has an original COM port. Once you know the Null modem cable works. You will have to try with a few USB->RS232 adapters...

Cheers,
James
