Here is a few things to check for that "comm 1" error.
1. JDash isn't yet capable of looking up the available comm ports on your machine, so it's very important you spell it exactly correctly. On windows it should be "com1" or "com2" or "com4" or "com5", etc.
2. Make sure that "com1" is the correct port for your OBD cable. Are you using a Tactrix OpenPort USB Cable? Because they usually connect to "com5"
3. If the above still causes a failure, please try to start JDash from a command window. When it fails, it should produce some error output. Please post that output here, or email it to me directly at "sgspowell-jdash@yahoo.com".
Thanx.
