STARVIEW UPDATING FIRMWARE - NO CODE BEGGING HERE

is it this one NULL MODEM CABLE Code L71BT

or this one rs232 cable L68BT

 

well you only have to worry about the com ports when you are using an adaptor so i think cybercop is right you might have to check out your cable.if you give me a couple of minutes i have a guide to the cables with pictures i'll try and find it.

 

first time I have used the cable, bought off ebay. Here is the link

 

yep seems to be the correct cable so it has to be down to your Pc settings i would say

 

For what its worth I still cant and never could, download any updates on my PC mines is Vista ,I have to use a mates which is XP so why not try it on a mates and see if it works apparantly there is an issue with Vista!!!

 

god knows what they should be then? I put further up what they are set on so if anyone knows what they should be then that would be brill, it wont have anything to do with the cable length will it? mine is 5 meters long.

thanks for all your help

 

Jaymoss Try what I suggested on my previous reply!

 

I am already on windows xp bud

 

jaymoss if you are only doing this to stop the rebooting then it wont make any difference..its a "super" box problem and flashing wont stop it.

 

ok that rules that out.... will you go to desk top and delete the download, and GTRom, Winrar etc youve downloaded re install them and try again, try this a couple of times if neccesary, this works sometimes as you might have a corrupt download.. nothing to lose but lots to gain.....

 

a few people have had success on flashing.... it will still be handy to know how to flash it anyway, plus I can always go back to another version

 

quite correct as it is indeed a firmware issue which needs to be addressed by the firmware makers and the sooner the better

 

Evening Vicky, been celebrating your small win all week then? havent seen you around!!

 

true its always good to know and you suddenly become VERY popular with your mates who need a flash when you know how to!loljust as long as you are aware there are no real advantages to the 7.0 over the 6.0.
i love my new super!!

 

Cybor cop the firmware makers you are reffering to are our Lifesavers on this site, they are ordinary blokes ,Volunteers Etc,Etc so be nice about them LOL

 

what do you mean small???its THE scottish cup i'll have you know!!and we have to take our successes no matter where they are especially after the end we had to this season!!and scotland today??we did really well and then blew our load at the end there!!ah well hopefully another lesson learned!!...LOLhows things with you?

 

I know all that mate just like we are on here all i am saying the sooner the better as there will be less people posting about the problems not that it is going to matter as there own site is closed down to cable files so there is no feedback going to them so i would not be holding my breath on a fix soon as the only way now to get a fix done will be by complaining to the supplier

 

its a no goer for me, it is either the cable or my pc... unsure which. Might try the maplin cable

 

if you're in dublin then click my name and there's a link to a wee shop i know that has them.

 

I would say its your pc iv'e had numerous proplems with starviews with my pc,i go round my mates who has a serial port and hey presto downloads straight away
