didn't realize there was 2 USB drivers for this
a serial port which i knew of already and have set correctly
then a USB Serial Converter so i just went and selected that and manually installed drivers from disc for it
Oh yea, now that you mentioned it, there are 2 USB drivers to install, I just used the same drivers from the disc for both USB Serial port and USB Serial Converter. So what you did was right.
still not sure about my path setting, i know you add ;C:\EDIABAS\Bin to the end which was already there by default
and when i set the one usb driver to com1 it no longer gives me the tab that show to ..
b. Ensure “use fifo buffers” option is marked and receive buffers and transmit buffers are
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri+FPEF]
both set to 8. Once that is finished press ok and exit all windows.
I don't think this applies to our cable, because these settings were not available. I only changed it Com1 and Latency to 1.
i only see the tab that shows the latency
if my device is not assigned to COM1 then i have the received and transmit buffer options but then no latency?
*EDIT*
last attempt of the night
same error so i thought i'd try FRM option after the F3 part and get a new best version error
ok, I got the same best version error too. It's hard to remember exactly what I did, because I was going back and forth for several nights with the software and google with all the errors.
Ok, make sure you didn't get any warnings when you ran OBDsetup.exe. I remember I had to change the value in Windows registry to match the expected value. There was one column with my value and then the expected value. I went into the registry path shown on that black DOS screen and changed it match the expected value.
