thats correct i downloaded the driver for the cable from the page on zapp.

i have tried 1-12 com ports and they all came up with a error ( i forget what it was but can go out later a take a look again) it was at this point i spoke with zapp and they said go to cheque something else to i think get the com port talking to the cable driver but i will have to go see if i can find what that was, when i did this i had to look for the driver file but i couldn't find it were it should be so assume it was not the correct one possibly?
