If you downloaded the correct firmware to your box then you don't need to enter codes at all.

Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your eurovox.
To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:
1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected
If you need drivers go here
http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm
Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *)
Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections inc/laptop

No problem, As you have already tried configuring ports/coms you need to get to a PC with a 9 pin serial socket so that you only have to use a Null Modem Cable plugged straight through to the back of the PC.
There are hundreds of posts about this problem with USB adapters and vista, once you do the above you should be fine, thats providing that cable you have is a null modem cable.

I am about to order a null moden cable and reading what is said here I am a bit confused. I have a laptop with vista on it will I need the proper cable or should I get the one with a usb on one end? And I have an old computer with the right connections (9pin female) on it but with no internet connection so can I download the software on my laptop save it to a disc and then put it on my old compter and do it that way?
I am not technically gifted so will I be able to do it, thanks again in advance.

Yes do it on your older PC with just the Null Modem Cable using the 9 pin serial (MALE not female as you said) socket pictured above.
