this is for xp but its pretty much the same as vista  :undecided:

It told you how to change which com the lead was on in windows, buy going to control panel - system - device manager - ports, and then changing the port the vag com lead is connected to to com 2, by right clicking the lead goto - properties - port settings - advanced settings - then change the port to com 2 and ok.
Then try it in vag-com on com 2

You also got to be in administrator to run it
