A little tip regarding the installation of your lead, do not let windows install the drivers, they will not work, these leads are not plug n play, you must use the drivers on the disc supplied, I have seen numerous post on other forums with people complaining that there loaders cannot find a com port to use and when questioned, they admit to letting windows inatall the driver, which it does but it has nothing to do with the lead you are using.

Im nearly sure I installed the drivers off the Disc and still got problems.. but only on some receivers. Might try another installation again just to be sure.
