    Thats good cos it means winrar is installed. You should be able to just double click the firmware .rar you downloaded and it will open in Winrar??

    Hi Mooley,
    I am also new to this forum and in the same situation as chaby.
    This is what i have done. I have downloaded the following in my document:

    3 books showing with strap(green, blue, pink)and it has "the box-4.57_& loader" next to it. when i open the 3 books a box appear showing 3 lines type..folder, file bin and application.


    also in my document there is another book showing the 3 books on the front cover with the same colours next to this book its showing WRAR 380.
    So far have i done everything correct ?? your help will be appreciated. Alternativley you can email me a contact number to
    bwana_26@yahoo.co.uk. I will contact you and you could talk me through the process.

    thanks again for your help.

    When you download 'The Box 4.57 & Loader.rar' there is two files contained in this rar file.
    thebox_h20081222_457eE_api.bin
    v4.03_051005.exe

    When i enter the password for factory resetting, it is asking for the language and then taking me to istallation,choosing providder and then automatic or manual scanning.Is that the right thing for facctory resetting?

    Just press ok on reset factory settings then when you get to the language screen switch off at the back then switch back on then update firmware then do another factory reset then go through the process of scanning, emu on etc.
