Loader2 and Zmodem32.dll (2 files) have to be in the same folder, always.
You first need to determine which COM port your serial port is on. Go to Control Panel, click Classic View, double click System, click on the Hardware Tab, click on the Device Manager button. Then go down and click on the [+] in front of Ports. Look in here to see which COM Port number your Serial Port is on.
Run Loader2 click on Tool -> Configuration -> drop down box, select your COM number you found above. Also click the Auto circle under Upload Type if it is not selected already. Click the OK button to save these settings.
Now Open the new file 080405(?) you Downloaded and Unzipped for your receiver model, whatever it is. Have your receiver OFF from the rear power switch, click the now highlighted PC -> STB button, and then turn your receiver ON. The display should now start counting up and the file is loading.
**** Never Ever Interrupt This Process ****
Wait for your receiver to completely reboot (after the file load completes, wait an extra minute and watch the display until it is not doing anything anymore).

hey springman527 , woodcreeker answered your earlier post on how to format to fat32.here is his reply it seems pretty straightfoward , sorry if you tried that but knowing woodcreeker I would keep trying it , he knows his stuff.
Run Windows Explorer. (A shortcut to do this is hold down the Windows key, and tap the E key). Look down on your list until you see your USB Drive. It is usually the E: or F: drive. Right click that drive, and then choose Format.

Generally, Format it to FAT works best for most USB drives, unless you have a large one like say 2GB or bigger, then you could Format that to FAT32. It won't hurt to format a smaller one to FAT32 either way.

Unzip the Latest File and Copy the file over to your USB drive.

After that, before pulling your USB drive out, use the Safe Remove Icon in the Tray, right click it, and choose Safe Remove. (lower right side of the Toolbar) and follow directions. When a ballon pops up that it is safe to remove, pull it out. This helps avoid Data Corruption.

Good Luck !!

hey buddy if your not using a usb memory stick then u dont format anything. a usb to serial cable doesnt require any formatting. use the link posted in post 5 and u shouldnt have any problems. What o/s are u using, and do u have the correct drivers installed for the cable. is your com port set to the correct one that you are using in the loader.

im not sure if its posted here but here is a post i made about troubleshooting.

c/p


There are essentially only four basic steps required to get an USB2Serial adapter to function properly:

1. Physically plug the USB2Serial adapter into an available USB port

2. Install the driver for the adapter (recommend that you use the one that was actually supplied with the adapter; universal drivers are "iffy")

3. Connect the correct cable (null or straight-through) between the adapter and your Fta Receiver ; in the case of the Coolsat, it is straight-through

4. Synchronize the COM port assignment of the USB2Serial adapter with a COM port supported by the Loader program (they MUST be the same).


The above four basic steps are relatively simple but a lot of things can go wrong along the way. For example, communications will fail if:

1. You don’t use the correct type of serial cable (null modem or a straight-through) between the adapter and your FTA receiver.

2. The COM port assignment of the USB2Serial adapter and the COM port setting in the loader/software program do not match.

3. You use the wrong loader program or BIN file for your particular brand/model of receiver or the BIN file was not extracted and is still in zipped or compressed format

For experienced computer users, the above constitutes all the instruction you will probably require. For computer neophytes, here's a simple step by step procedure for troubleshooting your USB2Serial adapter:

1. RIGHT-click on [My Computer] » [Properties] » [Hardware] » [Device Manager]

2. Scroll down the list of devices to [Ports] and click on the [+] sign on the left of [Ports]

3. Locate your USB2Serial device under [Ports] and RIGHT-click on it; select [Properties]

4. Under the [General] tab, the [Device Status] window will indicate whether it is functioning properly. If not, you should uninstall the device, reboot, and let Windows auto-detect the device. If it cannot locate the driver, you will be prompted to insert a driver disc

5. Click on the [Port Settings] tab and bump the port speed to the max (115200 or 128000 bps).

6. If you need to change the COM port assignment of the USB2Serial adapter to match one that your Loader program will support, click on the [Advanced] button (under the [Port Settings] tab) and change the [COM Port] value.

7. Be sure to sync or match the adapter's COM port assignment with one that the Loader program supports.

One final note: Coolsat receivers have an [Auto Detect] feature for locating and synchronizing the Loader program with the PC. You do not have to modify the COM port assignment (step 6) if you have a Coolsat receiver (just click on [Auto Detect].

Keep in mind that if you disconnect the USB2Serial adapter and plug it into a DIFFERENT USB port the next time you go to use it, Windows will automatically assign a different COM port value to the adapter. To eliminate configuration issues, always plug the USB2Serial adapter into the same USB port each time.
