you have to run as administrator, and run it in xp mode

and for the cable driver it picks it up as a high speed converter not vag com cable?

 

[MrNailer]

i thinm my problem is the usb cable driver as it picks it up as high speed converter and not only that when starting vag com up and going to test ony says found on com 3 yet it should be USB?

...just use the current versions, they are designed to work with Vista 32/64. Back when 311/409 were made Vista was hardly announced, unlikely anybody will ever improve the Vista compatibility for those versions.

well i had big big problems am using 409.1 and cheap ebay cable and if u have already installed the cable once before not worked you have problem did same as me and messed up all com ports in dervice manager, what i did was restore windows before i installed then reinstalled 409.1 after that installed cable with the ross tech driver witch come on a disc and was exact same!
picked it up as high speed (something) converter after that went to dervise manager and went to coms and lpd! after that set it to port 1,2,3,4 thats not in used, open vagcom(409.1) options then selected port i choose in dervise manager after that saved and taken it to car once plugged into car i clicked tested then it said found interface(the car) then vagcom worked fine but kept freezing up after that i Restarted and works a dream now hope this helps!!
