Read the tutorial under E45s signature (KRYPTVIEW TUTORIAL) - Were you are probably going wrong is as follows, when you are ready to flash the box and have the firmware in the loader, before pressing the START tab, switch the box off at the back, then press START, count to 3 and switch the box back on again, you should then see it downloading, you do not need to have it connected to the cable feed or NET just PC only, you only connect to NET when you have scanned everything in okay.

I really appreciate the help folks but still no luck I am using vista and it took ages to get the com port to be recognised everything seems to be ok now apart from the same message appearing everytime I try to update the box. The kryptview is straight out of the box should I have done anything to it first before I tried to flash the upgrade? Thanks everyone. K

CFC, have you tried connecting the box to your TV and scanning for channels.
Had the exact same problem myself a few weeks back, spent a few hours pulling my hair out trying to flash the software on the box but kept getting the exact same messages as you.
In the end connected it to the TV scanned for channels and 'hey presto' all there!
The firmware must've already been loaded onto the box by the supplier.
Just wish they'd put a note in with the box to save me all the hassle at the time.
If it does work, just check the latest version of software is on the box, if it's not update through the menu.
Hope this helps.

I got really excited when I saw your advice and followed what you said the box looked and found the channels but they are all scrambled so I guess the new boxes cannot be upgraded I bought mine from yourcablebox. I have tried again but still the same message I cn find the latest version on the box but I cannot find how to upgrade whilst still connected to the TV. I am really fed up, still lesson learn't. I do really appreciate all your help. K

Okay m8, sorry this didn't work for you, worth a try though.
When you connect the box to your TV are you connecting the LAN cable to your modem as well?
The channels won't unscramble unless your connected.

Hi CFC123,
Some of the drivers for the USB adapters do no work when flashing the boxes, i think certain laptop BIOS can be problematic also, you could try googling for some other USB to Serial drivers until you find one that works. I cant remember where i eventually found the driver for my laptop, just keep trying different ones.
The simplest way however is use a friends laptop or PC that has a serial port so you do not need to use your adapter.
mantas42, you need to flash the box once initially in order to use the update menu for future flashes.

I very much doubt you have a duff box, many people struggle with USB to serial adapters, some people say only use XP, some say Vista. end of the day it is usually incompatible drivers with a given Op System, even though device manager is clean. If you are not computer friendly at installing drivers and setting up com ports etc. Find someone with a PC that has a serial port you can connect your null cable direct to, and it takes away the trouble.
Don't give up, you will get there :)

My Internet is working though ... I'm on it now! And if there was a cable outage with regards to tv then surely the box wouldn't see the channels when it scanned?

I am not asking about your internet, I am asking you did you check to see if there was a problem in your area on the VM maintenance page, cause this will cause a loss of chans or break up etc
