ive now tried this on 3 laptops, and getting the very same msg each time !! im on the verge of just ringing n&l and payin for the damn channels
it would seem vista is the problem,did the other laptops have vista?.you could buy an old desktop with windows xp and a seriel port at the back for very little money,the kryptview is a great box be ashame to not flash it,but the best advice i can say is as a newbie read all info on the threads slowly and carefully and when you have all you need take your time and be patient(and hopefully the solution will present its self)i hope you get it sorted mate.
lads, i really appreciate all your efforts, tks so much and sorry to be such a pain in the *£*£*. fergus, yep, im in dublin
ok mate what area south side or north side rough idea would be helpful might be able to help you out depending o where you are if you want to pm me i will let you know ok instead of putting the info in here ok
i am a bit of a computer dummy and newbie but am having the same trouble as bunswald really need help have done everthing and exact same thing is happening me. help please
do you have the correct loader and the bin file(and all cables needed)if you are using an usb to seriel adaptor lead then you will need a driver(a program on a disc that should come with the usb adaptor,or you can download one)if your pc is windows vista it can be very hard to flash your box(but if you locate a good driver you may be lucky and it will work)if you have all the above and still it wont download maybe you have a friend who has pc with windows xp,who let you try on his.or do as i did(i got an old desktop that was not wanted for free,but you could buy one cheap,they have a seriel connection at the back so no need for usb adaptors or drivers or anything else,just screw in a null modem cable to the box and to the pc,open the loader find the bin file and download)but as a say if you look around the net you may get lucky and find a good driver that will work.good luck.
have the correct loader and cables and driver disc not 100% sure about bin file and i do have a laptop with vista so i'll try and use a friends computer to see if it works. thanks for your help
