Right click on my computer
Left click properties
Left click hardware tab
Left click device manager

I think that should take you to device manager, its been a while since I used xp. Then carry on with the rest

Sorry, it may just be me...do you mean there is no communication at all when you try to select different ports in the test screen on vagcom?

I am able to check engine, HVAC and instruments, when I try to scan anything else being engine II, III, electrics, I get the communication failed message

Probably because those modules aren't installed in your car 

You can only communicate with stuff thats actually fitted

Dont forget VAGCOM is used across the VAG group and therefore other cars have more or less modules fitted
