vag-com problem

[DEL_BOI]

ive bought a seriel vagcom cable which when i got it i relised i dont have a port on my laptop for it.....so then i bought an adaptor (to usb) which never worked...so the adaptor got taken back and i tested my seriel obd2 cable by taking the old pc into the car, which was a hassle lol. it worked, but i still wanted to use my laptop for the diagnostics so i purchased a usb obd2 cable and thought this would work but it doesnt come up in the corner as it should ROSS-TECH>>HEX , ive installed my usb driver for the cable and it says the hardware is installed and ready to use. but its not connecting to the car......

any ideas

help please

with the USB cagcom cable plugged in, go to control panel/system/com and lpt ports
Check which COM port your cable is using. Match this with the settings in vagcom (i.e: tell vagcom which com port your cable is on).
