Please Help Kryptview A780

[pattersnic]

Hi I have a Kryptview A780. I have downloaded STB Editor and the bin file. I open STB editor, select the bin file then clcik start, turn in the Kryptview and then a error message pops up saying "The downloading is not requested" On the code send where it should show the download stage (percentage) it says read REQ fail!
Please can someone help as I have downloaded several .bin files now and keep getting same messages. Is this my box or something I am doing wrong?
Thank in advance.

depends on your pc.
on my mc when i connect my usb to seriel convertor. it flashes up on my control bar. on bootom right

you might need to check in your device manager.
try unplugging and plugging in your convertor and see if anything shows in your control bar

Sorry, I don't understand how these are numbered. on the back of my pc I am connected to the serial port. On the STB editor it automatically selects com port 1. How do I know which port to select as there are about 32 different ports to select on the drop down menu. Thanks

in not so sure myself. my pc doesnt have com ports.
connect the box up and switch it on, then look in your device manager,
see if you can find it....

ps the downloader desnt select the comport, you have to tell the downloadder

In the device manager it doesn't seem to show up. Would it be easier to buy a usb convertor for the pc?

are you definatley using a null modem cable and not a female to female seriel cable?

[pattersnic]

are you definatley using a null modem cable and not a female to female seriel cable?

I am using a RS232 (Female) - (Female) serial lead is this the wrong cable?

Whats the difference between modem and serial cable?

Sent the fella to Maplins to return the cable fingers crossed on his return we can get this sorted. LOl. I appreciate your help Barrowmanandrew.I have been going round in circles all day yesterday thinking it was a problem with the downloads, will update further when I get the new cable. Thanks again.
