I am attempting to load the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 pre-formatted upgrade code from the site. I am using the keymap-master-8.10. When I attempt to paste the hex codes into IR (Ver 3.1) I get the "invalid character in input" error.

I would greatly appreciate any help in getting past this problem. Thanks! Smile

Get the latest version of IR. Version 3.1 does not support combined key moves in the upgrade code.

You'll also need the latest set of RDF files for the new version of IR as well.

Thanks Mark. I hadn't used IR in over a year and was using the old program with a relatively new version of KM. I upraded to IR 4.1, but so far I can't get the RDFs (v. 1.12.zip) to download. Since yesterday afternoon I keep getting the message that the operation has timed out before the Zip file even begins to download. Should I assume this is a temporary server problem at the Yahoo site? I really appreciate your help!

Mark,

Yes I've tried to save the target link, but I get an error indicating the web page has been moved or there may be server problems. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some setting or another that I had screwed up. I have emailed jp1-owner@yahoogroups.com. If there is another action that you can suggest, I would be happy to follow-up.

I have flushing my cookies and deleting my temp internet files and cookies on both Netscape 7.1 and IE 6.0. So far I haven't been able to get a download from either. I also tried using a different PC in my home, but it also failed to complete a download. I will keep trying.

Are you trying to download directly from the Yahoo site, or from a link posted here in the forum?

I have tried to download both from the yahoo site and from a link posted on one of the other forums here. Yes I am currently logged into yahoo. I am currently getting a document not found error on Netscape.
