clifnet wizard

right lads new here hope u can help me. I recently had a concept 650 clifford alarm fitted to my 97 sti .and i have the clifnet wizard software installed on my laptop and have the lead aswell. My problem is that the lead i received from my clifford dealer is for a serial connection on a computer,so i went out and purchased a serial to usb adapter.but when i connect the lead to my laptop and then to the alarm and open up the software it says comm 1 comm2 not found,comm3 wrong name and comm4 not found.anyone know how to change this.as the serial to usb adapter is setup as comm 7,8 or 9 ports.also my laptop is a hp zd8000 only has usb ports

also forgot to say its the 2.2 version for xp and runs fine in offline mode

Go into device manager and then go to the ports area. If you go into the device for your usb to serial port bridge, look for an advanced settings. In there you can usually change the port number to something that you can use.

tried that but cudnt find portsin the device manager.but tried it wen i had the device plugged in ,and found it and changed it.works fine now ,cheers for the help :vlepouce:

got to sort out your com ports i had the same issue just jiggles around the comms. no prolems since.. except now and again i get errors connecting to the alarm saying ecu type unknown.Why oh Why didn't i take the blue pill
