eurovox ex1000sl with vista

hi everyone i am a newvbie and i know this subject would have been covered but i cant find the answer.
I have the above eurovox and uploaded the firmware fine with xp, the box has now scrambled and i apparently need the latest fix/firmware.
I have windows vista and no pci card.
When i try to download the fix, it just says "waiting for receiver"
and nothing happens, i have set the port correctly (tried 1,2,3 and 4) i have also tried switchingthe box off and anything else you can think of, im very frustrated.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on getting the latest firmware downloaded using windows vista on to my box.

thanks in advance

 

sorry forgot to add im using a prolific usb adapter and null cable. i have the drivers for the usb, not sire if you need special vista ones though, but it seems to be installed

 

you and countless other's mate,some people have been successfull with vista but most havn't, i have seen a post the other day where a person was successful using a prolific driver,have a look through it HERE

 

thanks for the reply mate, but its exactly what i have already done.

 

missed your second post your best bet is to find a pc with xp and a serial port because with most folks if it dosn't work first time forget about it,this forum is full of posts about flashing problems with vista.

 

thanks again i think i will.
whats the latest firmware for this box?
cheers again

 

i used to have the same problem with vista try uninstalling the driver then re install it worked for me had no probs since. The driver i used is pl-2303 32 bit vista driver.also have you tried using a different adapter

 

thanks man do you have a link for the driver?

Iv'e already sent you a link to a thread with a link to that driver

 

try this mate see if this helps

tried it stil no joy i have version 2.00 of the loader is that correct, does anyone know the latest firmware?

 

sorry just noticed the links above, guess i will need xp

 

dont give up so easy i had the same problems but got over them you do have the right firmware i guess its your cables like i said try another set it wont hurt

 

Thanks everyone, i found a laptop with xp and flashed the box the message came up download successful or something like that, i have re scanned the box but the channels remain scrambled? HELP!!!

Thanks in advance
