Eurovox Flashing Problems

[MRJIN007]

Hi guys, i tried installing the new epg fix firmware on to the max using dnupman and voxer, but i had no luck with them both. I was using a usb serial as my laptop doesnt have a serial port, would this cause any problems?? Both programs would get to the point where they would try and communicate with the box, but then nothing would happen, i even tried changing the port assignments but that didnt work either. The strange thing with voxer was that i took the usb cable for the serial cable out of the laptop and it still said found max on port 3, so i changed the serial cable to port 3 and tried that and then it would say not detected. Any help much appreciated. Thank you
