HELP!! Can't connect to EVOScan

I wouldn't be posting this except for the fact that I've tried for the past two days to connect to EVOScan, any version, and its not working at all. I have an HPDE coming up this weekend that I really want to log and Im at the point where I'm about to throw my new computer out the damn window!!!

ECUFLash is working fine, I can connect and D/L my roms with a probelm. Its only EVOScan thats giving me trouble. Currently I have the latest EVOScan v2.5 with my tactrix 1.3 cable.

I've tried using the newest drivers with v2.5 and it won't connect
I've tried using older drivers with the v2.5 and it won't connect.
I've tried uninstalling V2.5 and installing v.99 and it won't connect.
I've tried using the newer drivers with v.99 and it won't connect.
I've tried using the older drivers with v.99 and it won't connect.
I've tried checking and unchecking the wideband boxes in EVOScan and it still won't connect.

The ONLY way I can get EVOScan to connect to anything is when there are NO parameters checked off. THen and only then will the screen go green and it says its logging but there is nothing to log. If I try and check any normal ECU parameters like TPS or RPM it doens't connect.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure its something really stupid that I'm overlooking, it usually is.

what version of windows are you running? Do you have a wideband? If not, uncheck the External Wideband. If you select a single item to log will it work?

XP home edition.
I have a wideband on the car no wideband boxes are checked in EVOScan.

I tried unchecking everything except for one parameter, like RPM or TPS, and it doesn't connect.
IF I have EVERYTHING unchecked it will connect but there is nothing to log then so the screen is just blank.

just tried Mitsulogger and it works like a charm. started logging as soon as I hit the button! Nice work MJ.

Still though I'd like to get evoscan to work properly.

lapulapu, I didn't do the help desk but I did PM evo4mad...
