Sorry, I wasn't very clear - I meant that the virtual port [correctly mapped] may have subsequently be hijacked by another application before VAG-Com has a chance to access the newly provisioned port.

The 'in use' dialogue refers to the mapping between a system device [e.g. USB VAG-Com lead] to a virtual com port. The available com ports here are those that have not already been mapped to a physical device, not an application.

Also, as Onzarob says, you need to use the same USB port each time and then check that it has enumerated to the same port you're going to use in VAG-Com.

I suppose it might be worth checking none of the pins on the lead are bent or pushed in...
