On my Windows 7 64-bit box I have Windows XP Mode (Virtual PC) installed. Inpaload and NCSExpert both load up fine. How do I get the USB cable to be seen in the Virtual PC? I ran the obdsetup.exe and it looks like it worked fine but I don't think it connecting.
I also tried my netbook which is running Windows XP 32 natively. First of all, it did not have ANY com ports showing. So, I manually added a COM port made it com port 1 and set it according to the DIY. Again nothing is showing.
Is there something that's missing from the DIY as to how to set up the USB com ports?

did you run the FTDI USB driver that came with your USB cable?

The problem now is that it won't attach in my XP Mode Virtual PC. When I click 'USB..D-CAN..attach' I get an error "Could not attach the USB device. You can attach the USB device to a different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again."
I restarted the Virtual PC but I still get the same error. Any ideas?
