Ahh,sorry, vu+ solo 2 , vix , build 775, purchased from wos this week,

 

[Mr. Mister]

OK.. in that case its usr > keys..

var > keys is for Enigma1 boxes..

 

[gazza1978]

thx mister, ive just tried that and still the same message, I do put the dat file and the edited newcamd file in the same place usr>keys,

 

[Mr. Mister]

The 2 files you need are :

mg_cfg and newcamd.list

Edit the newcamd.list to your own preference..

 

[gazza1978]

Ok, I think this is what Ive done, I,ve checked the properties on the mg_cfg file and windows has saved it as a dat file, do I need to change this mabe?

 

[Mr. Mister]

Yes.. it should be a text file..

Download and install Notepad ++ onto your lappy..

Open the mg_cfg file in Notepad++ and save it again.. ( Do not edit it )

Then ftp it back into usr > keys.. That will sort it for you..

 

[gazza1978]

I shal do it and let you now shortly thanks Mister,

 

[gazza1978]

ok. its running I think, if I turn it of then on again it will come back with the same message as before, but if I reboot the box with autostart on the mgcamd comes up active, if its saying active I take its ok, theres no sign of the line I inputed, is this normal? thx for getting me this far by the way

 

[Mr. Mister]

[gazza1978]

Hi Gazza,
Perhaps this thread by 'Punisher' might help: HERE

All sorted now, big thanks to mister who got me up and running, all the guides are spot on here, you need to make sure you have notepad ++ and a good ftp client, I started with filezilla but ended up using dreambox control centre,
