No it's on XP. I had a pc given to me that has been completely wiped and XP installed on it.

The Laptop knows it's there and says it's working and ready to use. But VAG-COM can't find it.

I think i'd recommend to people to do what you have done craggsy! :D

does the usb com port you are selcting match the one XP has allocated the cable to. last time I installed mine it XP assigned it to COM5!

Well saying that. If I go onto device manager on my laptop. It comes under COM port 5 and USB. But on VAG-COM there is no COM5 to select. It says there's a 1 and 4 but not used and 2 and 3 don't exist.

ok still not working..

I set it to 4 to start with. Went onto test and the lead thing was ticking a few times. But still said it can't find the interface.

So tried it with 2 and did the same clicking but still nothing.

and Ben, it's a pretty old laptop I got for free with only 1 USB port :(

Well on device manager. I have USB on the bottoms drop down menu, with the high speed cable (something like that) in there. Then I also have under the COM ports drop down menu COM5(USB)

I have changed COM5 to COM4 and only since I've done this has it started clicking when I press test COM4. Any others and USB don't do anything.

Sorry if that's hard to understand.. it's late :D

Good news. I have managed to get an older version of VAG-COM. I think 311.2? Because it's the old version I have managed to find an interface!!

Bad news. When I try and do an auto scan. It says that I need to register the version of VAG-COM by entering a key? or something along those lines.

don't do an autoscan. that goes and tries to connect to 256 odd modules. a mk3 has 2 / 3. engine, abs and transmission if it's an auto. Use 'Select control module' instead.

strange 409.1 didn't work for you. it's the one I'm running with the same/similar lead.

you then get to select the controller you want, either engine or abs. there will then be a button to check fault codes.

on the shareware versions you are limited to one measure on the scope. you are better off using the 'measurement blocks' from within each controller screen. which should let you select up to four blocks. each block then shows 4 'random' measures. You can log this to a CSV file and graph in excel or openoffice calc.

I think you're further than me :D

When I go onto the scope. I get the grid show up. With a few things at the bottom that don't do anything. I have no lines or anything. Just don't know how to get it started to do something.
