Download and install Ecuflash. It will update your drivers.

You can't use EcuExplorer with 1.3 cable because drivers don't generate virtual com port. You can connect to ECU via EcuExplorer only through COM port.

p.s. ecuEdit able to connect to ECU through openport 1.3

thats not good
i got the cable so i can datalog and if i cant use ECU explorer then its a bad idea to get v1.3

installed v1.29 EcuFlash
and ecuexplorere still does not see the cable
do i have to have both the programs running
or is there something additional i need to do

You can't use EcuExplorer with 1.3 cable because drivers don't generate virtual com port.

Not true. If you download the latest version of ECUflash, you get both types of drivers and you can then switch easily between ECUflash and EcuExporer with the 1.3 cable.

I install drivers from ecuFlash 1.28 ...

Uninstall that old version (and its drivers) and install the latest version.
