you might need the usb to serial software (should have come with the usb lead)...
then keep trying different software versions, and keep going back in versions till one works....

Buy ****, and this is usually what happens, money saved or well spent you be the judge. I bought the Ross Tech usb cable and its been spot on from day one and it earned its cost within 2 months with myself and custardcupra using it. You get what ya pay for.

Usb to serial converters do not work well with some modules. For that reason, Ross-Tech does not support them as our FAQs state. You need to look at getting a genuine USB interface.

It this is related to your other post, this is the problem, not the Windows version.
