Sorry I got a little confused because it blended all together, so I spaced it out a little.

What cable are you using to program it?

thanks for formatting; i had pasted the template, which was spaced, Anyhow, i have the USB to serial w/ a NULL adaptor, I have been using this successfully for weeks thanks to you guys. I'm going to try another couple of options, i'm leaning toward that zmodem file, i'm going to go re-do my steps.i'll let you know.

Make sure the Zmodem32.dll and the loader execution file are in the same folder. Good Luck.

Thank you for your attention! I found the problem why it would not load: when I download, then extract, some of the content is blocked. When I had the meltdown a couple of months ago, LOL, I had read an article, can't remember where tho, about checking the properties of a downloaded file to see if any content was blocked. If so, ya just click on 'unblock', etc. & wa-la, the file is then usable or complete-whatever the lingo is. So that's what is was & also, the modem file didn't get included, somehow. So, files went from PC to STB fine. But I still don't have TV...I loaded the 'fail fix'.pgm file first. then the fac default file, but nada, so i'm still testing, not panicking, lol. i'll letcha know.
