          Hi

          Ive attached a few different versions of dreamup with a couple of patched ones, try the dm500 one think thats the one that kick started the one I did.

          If and once connected erase the corrupted image a few times before flashing fresh image. After that any version of dreamup should connect in future should you need to.

          Regards

              Hi

              I was getting that before the one Ive attached managed to connect. Think thats the standard message while dreamup is waiting for response from box.

              Regards

                  Does the patched dm500 show a progress bar preparing the box. Are you powering box up after you press connect (Im sure you are but just making sure).

                    in the progress bar it says startsequence, stating upload... but the bar is not moving and yes click connect then power up the box, is it totally dead?

                          Also you say youve used this comp before to flash your other box, is that a 500s too.

                          Just a long shot turn off firewall.

                                Yeh it was a longshot its just that thats only thing I could think of cos I remembered that my firewall was off so maybe was clutching at straws really, was kinda anxious to get your box going .

                                Aah well no other ideas im out now time to go to land of nod.
