com port?in vag com sit it to usb if ya get me?

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

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
