    Yes that may be it I change the name as I thought thats what I was meant to do (it said something like that in the help section of the software)

    Now I cant get rid of the names that I entered.

    Do you think that has something to do with it?

    Regards

    Delete the one you have before using the new file, reboot the starview also.

    I also have another bin file: STAR VIEW_26012007_257eE.

    When I try to download it with this I get this message:

    Cant open serial port

    Last error: The system cannot find the file specified.

    Does that mean I have a problem with my serial port?

    Regards

    Are you using a NULL MODEM cable or SERIAL CABLE ? Try another COM PORT (2) Factory reset the Starview.

    I am using a null modem cable, tried using all the different com ports but still getting the same message.


    When I click download I make sure the model no is GCR3510 after getting the Eroor message the model reverts back to one of the names that I entered before.

    Do you think this is having any effect?

    Also I have bought a USB to Serial adapter as my sisters laptop does not have a serial port.

    Do you know if its possible to update that way?

    Thanks again

    Some adapters don't work too well. Check in Device Manager on your PC and check the COM PORT for the USB-SERIAL adapter is the same as the one you are trying to use in GTROM loader.

    Start/settings/control panel you will see an icon for SYSTEM. Open that, click on Hardware then on the button for Device Manager. Look down the list of devises to find the USB - serial adapter in Ports (click on the + to expand it. Look at the one you want and see what Com Port it has been assigned.
