go into device manager and check the virtual com port number. if its higher than 4 you'll have to go into the properties and change it for a lower number, and if the lower numbers are taken you'll have to change one of the other ports to a higher number first to clear it, then change the vagcom cable to the lower number.  does that make any sence at all?
