I bought one of these through ebay in the hope that I might be able to rectify the offending component that is causing my abs warning light is stay on permanently, as it’s MOT time soon:-

The cable works with software version 409.1.
Through my lack of experience and haste in purchasing I was not aware that the cable/software version 409.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista and sadly my laptop is running Vista Home Premium.
I tried running the software in Xp Compatibility mode with no success.
Now I do also have a very old Pentium 2 desktop PC which runs Windows 98 which I thought I would try it on. I set this machine up on the drive and hooked up the cable. This machine was able to connect to the interface after selecting ‘usb’ port.
Once connected to the interface I proceeded to select to scan ’03-ABS Brakes’ – The comm. Status runs through attempt 1-4 and then disconnects without scanning.
Can anyone tell me a solution to this problem please?
Thanks,
David.
