VAG COM Freezing

[jay.ing]

Hello all, i have purchased a cheapy cable off ebay and im using vag-com 409-1, it has connected to the ecu twice but now it keeps freezing when i select any of the modules? is it because im trying to run it on vista or is it something else? any help greatly appreciated!

Have you tried running vag-com in XP compatibilty mode?

Yep still freezes, ive managed to access the ecu once but after that keeps freezing!

As mork said, version 409 released in September of 2004 is not compatible with an operating system release in 2007. It will never be. Some have gotten older versions to work in the XP compatibility mode. If that doesn't work on your machine, then it's most likely never going to work.

Ross-Tech will not be going back to 4 year old versions to make them Vista compatible.

Run it as an administator mate, should work fine then. Right click the vagom icon and choose 'Run as admin' when you load it up.

lol, no probs mate. If you install it using Vistas XP compatibility feature you can set it to always run as admin so you dont have to select it each time you use it.
