Hyper Terminal has been removed in vista.

there is a different version in Vista, but ive never tried it yet, so hopefully someone will try it and PM me if it works or not.

But if you click on Start/All programmes/Accsesories/Command Prompt

then type in winrs /?

this is supposed to take over from the old Hyper terminal, just follow posts 1 and 2 using that.

EDIT : download a programme called puTTY here , give that a try.

Thanks for the extra information, I'm running Vista and I will try its version of the terminal or use putty first chance I get.

Hi,

I've been trying this but my dbox freezes with two blocks on the lcd screen not the normal 5 blocks and then the 'lade..' screen. Any idea what this might mean and how to fix?

TIA

Thanks m8 all up and running ,just got stuck at the u boot file for a bit,figered out you just leave for 5mins as nothing appears to happen but the file is transferd to box

[shugy]

hi aftermath my first time ever never seen as dbox2 before
followed your guide worked perfectly first time only thing is i seem to have installed a german image
little question do you have to load u boot every time or just once
i would like to thank you for making my life easier you the man

[Fergal]

If you have a ethernet crossover cable you can flash it using a ftp proggy to transfer the image to the /tmp folder on the box and use the dbox menu's to flash it
or you can use IFA to flash it you dont need the uboot file with either of these procedures plus it only takes about 5 minutes to do.
