    are you using a computer that runs on windows vista as vista can cause problems flashing boxes(the problem is down to the usb serial driver software not being compatable with vista,even tho it may say it is)if you have a mate or family member that has a computer that runs on windows xp try to flash it on there and see will it work,but you will need to install the usb serial driver on that computer also or on a portable usb memory stick that you can insert in to the usb slot on the windows xp computer. hope this helps you.

    yes i have vista i just though i was doing something wrong with my laptop i got the box flashed thank you v much
    but a wish that the people that r selling these boxes would do something about this problem as most of us are now using laptops and they are selling
    the leads usb to nul and the download only works with nul to nul

    why would they do that?? nothing to do with the box, there are cables out there to flash boxs' not everyone uses a laptop, the rs232 connection is a standard connection method across a lot of electricals, from TV to boxs etc

    vista always was a problem flashing a box, thats why the usb adapter and the directions in the above for drivers and comports etc where done for laptops, XP never had that issue, just vista as its a heap of shite
