com port open failed

[DRUMZS]

That is the message I get when i double click on loader2. The only change I have made to the computer since I last used it about 5 months ago is I have added a wireless router nothing else is different. Any idea what it mighr be would be appreciated

make sure your stb is plugged in when you start loader 2. if it still does it delete loader 2 and download it again.

when it open x out the comport error then hit tool configuration make sure it is on com1 if it is then right click on my computer go down to properties then left click then hardware devices the scroll down to ports hit the plus

then find communication prt and see what com it is on incase it switched some how .. if it is different then remember what com port it is on and then open up loader 2 tool configuration then adjust to match ..

i'M STILL GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN I BRING UP THE LOADER SCREEN AND TRY TO LOAD THE CHA,SAT AND UPDATE, IT JUST SETS ON ZERO AND SAYS ERROR

[DRUMZS]

The error is during the zmodem part of loading. I went in and right clicked on my computer and everything looks ok it is on com1. I deleted the loader 2 and reloaded it still error and when I click off it and go to load(zmodem) it says error initilizing

try doing a hard reboot on your computer.

On The Computer?

[baron1]

yes,turn computer off,turn off from switch in the back and unplug then plug back in and turn everything on and let reboot.does'nt hurt to try

[DRUMZS]

[doerksen]

well i speak from experience wen i say use loader 1 instead. dont know why but it fixed the problem. good luck.

[DRUMZS]

loader 1 still works? I will try that

[DRUMZS]

I have gone into the computer and checked on com port 1 and it shows that it all checks out ok..does anyone have any ideas what else it could be? as soon as I double click on loader2 I get the failed message and when I x out of it the loader comes up but aftewr loading the files it says error initilizing(zmodem) I know it's something with the com port but what could it be?

[huasteco]

i was having the same problem i erased then download it again and it solved the problem make sure you configure the com ports again

[DRUMZS]

you erased the program or the com port? I've reloaded the loader2 a couple of times do you mean reload the cd for the computer?
