Would assume it to be a null cable if it came with your box. Lots of people having problems installing new firmware. Computer drivers and unavailable com ports seem to be an issue. Try changing to different port for USB adapter (between 1 to 4). Otherwise I would suggest you use your null cable on it's own on a computer with a 9 pin connection.

Thanks for your help. what kind of connection would it need to be with a 9 pin

An area on your computer containing 9 pins to connect to your null cable. Exactly the same as the one contained on the back of your Eurovox. You have more of a chance of an older computer having one.

Check what port your USB adapter is on under device manager and change it if necessary, see my reply to the Com Port Help post in this forum for details.
