Hi folks

I am trying to flash my eurovox pvr5000 and have bought a cable with usb adaptor as connecting to laptop. Have done everything in the tutorials but cant seem to see the eurovox?? when trying to download it comes up "no aviable com ports"????

I have tried changing the leads round etc?? I have the correct download but just cant start??

I am probably doing something really stupid?? Could this maybe not be a null modem cable?? You can see the adaptor at the bottom of the screen and drivers seem to have downloaded ok??

I would really like if someone could reply and help a newbie.

Regards

flashing via a usb adaptor gives a lot of people problems, much better if you can try on a friends PC that has the rs232 connection.

your problem is probably either your cable is not a null modem type or your adaptor is not set to the correct port in device manager
