Hi everyone.. Need some advice! I'm having the problem where my laptop isnt recognising the box. It worked before no problem but i have since rebuilt my laptop. I have no serial port on the laptop so its on a docking station and i have a null modem cable going from the docker to the box. As i said it worked last time no hassle but now the flashing software is looking for it in COM4 (if i select 1, 2 or 3 it says port not available) and just says receiver not detected, but in device manager it says its COM2 thats in use. I thought it would be as simple as changing the port in device manager to COM4 but that doesnt work, when i go back into the flashing software it says no port available. It insists on COM4 but then says receiver not detected. I've tried unplugging and rebooting etc. A friend mentioned there might be a code you can key in from the remote control to fix it.... Any ideas? If i cant fix it i'll try getting a usb-serial cable.

How are you connecting the box? Are you using a serial-usb? There are drivers apparently, there is a link somewhere in this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-59/o...updated-782583/

With mine it turned out microsoft active sync was messing it up as i previously had a device installed which was associated with COM2 so i turned off active sync and it picked it up no prob
