Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??
if your pc is windows vista and your trying to flash a box,then your chances are slim and none(with seriel usb)they are not compatable in most cases,i went and got an old(very old)pc desktop with windows xp and it has a seriel connection(newer pc dont)so all i need is a null modem in my old pc via seriel port,and in to the box?(what ever box,excluding boxes that are usb,as they will work as normal)then flash with your loader.hey presto,its cheaper and less hassle than trying leads and cables that wont work,trust me i know.good luck mate.

Piopat,Slim to nil is not the case. Its like everything a small bit of time and research and serial to usb is possible using vista. I'm no computer wizz and got it going and flashing my bosca's successfully.
i know it can be done,but in many cases it cant(or people go off spending good money on all kinds of leads,spend hours online trying to find a driver that will work)sometimes the best option for some people is what i advised above as its a simple sollution and fairly cost effective,i had these troubles my self and this was my sollution.if you know of a good usb seriel driver that will work on vista then it would help lots of people to mention the name on this thread,as i have seen many people who have the same problem.hope you post the driver name here fuerte(be a big help)thanks mate.
Not too fond of advertising sites but bought the lead from a crowd in the UK and driver came with it all £17 sterling(?20).
I admit the xp way is easier but some folks just aint interested in doing any research whatsoever and just want quick answers, so by not naming the site might encourage people to 'work' a little !!!!
