Very good thread from JohnR HERE about connection problems ... might be worth a try for you

First thing to check is the com port your software is using, the USB lead acts as an extra com port when it is installed it can be any of comm addresses from 1 to 4. Secondly DO NOT download the USB version of the software from Ross-Tech, I know it sounds weird but it will NOT work with a non Ross Tech interface, you need the normal version. Can you repost being a bit more specific about your setup (what version of the software etc and serial ports etc).

I've recently acquired a copy of a program called 'VWtool' which seems to do similar things to VAG COM. Anybody ever used it?
