be my hero

im going through the instructions on the link you sent me, there is a difference in what im getting and what its saying i should get, maybe it will help you help me. when i get to the dnupman its dnupman v4 on the what it says i should be getting is dnupman v3.
Also just after that beside the download button it says version 2.10 and on the other page it says version 1.0 is this any help?

 

the guy in maplin shop said this was the adaptor i need, as it supports RS232 cables the cable i got with the eurovox reciever today is the cable im using

 

This definitely sounds like an adapter/cable problem. The version of Dnupman you have is fine it is just the latest version and the older one is shown on the guide.

There are two different types of R232 serial adapters. The one you need is a USB serial port adapter. The guys in Maplins will just give you anything that sounds right. It should have this part number ZP43W on the box/packaging it came in.

 

yeah i guess its the only thing it could be, i'll go back tommorrow and see if i can get one. thanks for all your patience and help man. maybe back on tommorow don't work too late.

 

Good luck if I am not here someelse will sort you out. As I will be on in the morning but gone from the afternoon onwards.
