what driver version is being loaded/used?

Don't even attempt to plug it in to the vehicle until you get a "Found and functioning" result. You're just wasting time doing so.

You might want to try setting the com port to a lower com port. I know V4 had an issue if the com port was above COM9 for a while. I haven't experienced this issue with V5, but you never know. Yes, I know 7 is less than 9, but I find that a lower number com port seems to connect easier, not sure why, it just seems to.

There might also be something else (program) that uses that same com port and it may not be letting go of it completely, so assigning a different com port will also get around that.

Yes, liek I said it was V4 with the issue, and I've been up to 11 or 12 without issue, but it's something to consider.

Too late , sorry I already tried it when Mark said sometimes it tested OK and sometimes it didn't.

I've NEVER had connection when I didn't first get a "Found and Functioning" result. I've tried sometimes too. ;)

[RobertISaar]

i've had cables(both my own and aldlcables.com) fail the test, yet still function without any problems or configuration changes. it has been a while since that last happened though.

I can't see a new driver not working like an old driver? Just checked my cable on laptop and still running:
Driver FTDI
Date 4/10/2012
Version 2.8.24.0

AutoProm on pass through cable found and funtion. Com 4
ALDL cable found and funtion. Com 5

i'm up to COM30 on TP V5 without issue?

Com 30

I think I am permantly spooked by TPV4. I uninstall every USB and then restart computer and let it have what it needs. Then install all my cables and tuning devices. All under 7! Then a wireless USB mouse, printer and whatever?
