Hi gregers thanks for reply but tried com port settings in advanced screen etc and if i swap cable to different usb port xp says new hardware found. Loads driver then says new hardware ready to use gives it a different port number which I've tried it leaving and changing in both vagcom and xp device manager but stil says interface not found. Might have to risk another ebay cable thanks baz had this a few times with vw. 1)is the ignition switched on 2)have to done the "options" screen and test usb port 3) sometimes just restarting again (ie shut down laptop, remove cable, start car and stop it) can kick it up again
