I can use the 1.3M or universal cable on my Windows 2000 old laptop for ECUflash on Mitsi and Subaru.
However, I wanted to datalog my friend's STI and so I installed ECU explorer, ECUedit demo and Enginuity. None of them can datalog from the car. ECU explorer seems to be telling me why - COM4 used for SSM diagnostics is no longer available. Please check that it is the correct port. However, Open port 1.3 Universal is listed by this port. I have no hardware conflicts and I have tried making it different ports, restarting ECU explorer and the laptop etc.
I tried a borrowed newer laptop, but it is a shame to buy a newer laptop unless I really have to. Reinstalling Windows 2000 might help, but it is time consuming if I'm missing a simple solution, and still might not work.
Suggestions?
