Vag Com Windows 7

[d_austin974]

Hi guys, i have just bought the obd2 cabble off ebay but when i plugit into the USP port the computer says it has not been recognised and it has malfunctioned. The readme i got with the cable says it is compatible with windows 7 but it only gives instructions for how to install the driver on older versions of windows. Can anyone help me out?

cheers alex i'll give that a go

[d_austin974]

hi alex. how do i actually install the drivers for the cable. I have tried going through the troubleshoot option and update driver, but my computer just says the driver is up to date. havw you got any ideas?

[alexperkins]

you need to specify the location, and choose where you have extracted the driver zip to

[d_austin974]

I tried that and it says the driver is up to date.
But when i check the driver details it tells me that there isnt one installed?

[alexperkins]

hmm have you tried restarting. Also, try a different USB port.

[d_austin974]

yea dude tried all that, i have contacted the ebay seller but no reply yet. I'll stick at it n let you know if i get anywhere. Thanks for your help and if you think of anything else give me a shout.

i've just had another quick thought. Does it matter that mine's the 64bit version of windows 7. Are the drivers you posted above the correct ones for this version? thanks again

[alexperkins]

no and yes. I have 64 bit windows 7 and I have no problems with it.

Can you screenshot the error you are having and post it up?

[d_austin974]

thought i had a breakthrough for a minute there. managed to get the driver installed but now its a new error message saying that the device cannot be started. im taking a few screenshots now.

[d_austin974]

so i plug in the lead and this bubble appears


so i troubleshoot the device and there are its properties


you can see here it says no driver is installed


so i install the driver, i get this warning and go ahead with the installation


so once i install the driver i get this error message



Do you know what i'm doing wrong?

[alexperkins]

Try a different computer and see if the error persists. If it does, then its a faulty lead

[d_austin974]

will do alex, thanks for all your help. I'll let ya know if i get it sorted out!
