    Did you try this on page 1,

    Thanks to celtic71 for this post.

    Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your eurovox.

    To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

    1. Go to the Start Menu
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Properties"
    4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
    5. Click on "Device Manager"
    6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
    7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
    8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
    9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

    If you need drivers go here

    http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm

    Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *)

    Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
    Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.

    conis the instructions on how to config your ports are above,

    If I was to talk you through it I would just be repeating whats already posted, Once you have changed com 9 to either 1,2,3,4 you should be fine,

    Here have a look at this and when you try to config your ports make sure you have the USB adaptor pluged in otherwise you wont see it in the com properties.

    Did you take the splitter out as advised by Sc0user?! so with your splitter out you are connected to your main feed directly now do a factory default then a powerscan on symbol rate 6952, step 8 as ilustrated on page 1.

    Sc0user was going to tell you to do this,

    Unplug the EV for a few seconds, then plug it back in. Immediately go to time settings, set time using GMT. When time is correct turn GMT off and press blue button to save and exit. If you are quick enough this will also work.

    DO NOT UNPLUG THE EV as it will default an hour behind and you will have to do it each time you plug it back in , leave it on STAND-BY :)

    Did you do a factory reset as on page 1 after the firmware flash, also try doing a scan without having a splitter inline, what box you got and where abouts are you?.

    When you do a power scan do it gives you the option of doing 6,7 or 8 steps, do it on step 6 (if you havent tried this)
