Your problem no from sim not from software ...From connection
1-Try another pc (win xp better)
2-Try another Rs232 cable

I have tried from 2 pc's windows 7 and fresh install of windows xp and 1 laptop with windows 8

i have tried onboard com port and usb com port


*****I just had it on putty and when i right clicked on putty screen it went to serial connection mode on the display and in putty it said serial loop mode. but i couldn't do anything. Dreamup said file too big and wont connect i tried to press s for setup but nothing.

I switched the dm800 off and on a few times and each time i could get it to go to serial connection by right clicking on putty screen.

I went onto xp hoping hyperterminal would let me press s but now i cant get it to serial mode.*****

---

Update, In putty again and i just frantically started pressing buttons on the keyboard and it has started booting but it is stuck. im going to try 1 key at a time until i find out whats going on.
