bit of a problem :lol:

 

have set up the drivers,port settings seem ok

 

run the program,connect lead via usb

 

turn on ignition

 

and works fine,

 

untill i want to check out something else

ie,abs or engine

 

i get a error saying check connections etc in opions..

 

but if i unplug the usb then plug in back in and wait for 2 little tones,it works.

 

then i have to do it all over again,unplug usb lead and then plug it in again

Have you got a powered hub for the usb - may be spike/signal issues which could be masked if you used a hub - I konw you'd need an extension lead unless you have it in a garage with power :( but maybe worth a try :(
