Innovative lc-1 problems

So today i was trying to connect the cable to my laptop w/a serial to usb adapter and my laptop couldn't recognize it. Did this all before i connected it to the lc-1. I tried my tactix cable to see if something was up w/the usb ports but it read my ecu just fine. Any clues? The adapter i got was one from Bestbuy since i read on here the Radioshack one isn't too great. I'm stumped.

Yup, still won't recognize the cable. The disk had the logworks program in it.

Did you install the drivers for the serial > USB adapter? You need both .. the drivers for the LC-1 and the drivers for the adapter you purchased at Best Buy.

the lc-1 may need to be connected to the serial cable before you try to connect?

Yes it does.......

If its the dynex cable from best buy the disk is in between the cardboard in the package. You have to pull it apart, I thought the same thing but then pulled the package completely apart and found it.

Or you can just go to the dynex website and DL the driver...... but if you bought it brand new from best buy you have the disk.

Get this and be done with it. Serial to USB adapters are always a pita

The best buy cable sucks. The radio shack cable works perfect.

Bump. Found the disc, got everything loaded up. I kept getting this error when i tried to connect the com port here's what it said:
No real time data detected. Check serial port and connection. Note, you must use 'Download lm-1 log from the file menu' instead of a real time operation in 9v battery mode

It connected once, after that i tried it again, and got the same error. I'm stumped. Any suggestions on brands? I'm thinking on ordering the one from newegg that Evol.ved mentioned. Any help?

maybe try to make sure the terminator plug is in the end of the lc-1 really tight..... double check all of your connections. Also try switching the usb cable to a different spot on your laptop
