Default ECUx users: I need help installing the ODB-II USB drivers

When I plug the APR ODB-II USB cable in to my Dell Laptop runnung XP/Pro it asks for the driver. When I tell it to use the driver on the CD, it says location does not have information about your hardware.

I have tried many different ways, it simply does not think that the driver on the CD is the right one.

HELP! Any ideas? Anyone using the APR cable?

Default

So the obvious question is where did you get the driver from, and are you SURE it's the right driver

Default Driver and cable are both from APR!

The cable came from Mike2KS4 and he did have it working with what seems to be the same driver. We did not check file versions tho...

Default Try a different PC for giggles. THe Dell USB stuff can be whacky. It will likely work but may not

install as directed.
