Hey all, I just had an AvantGuard 5 installed, and I got the CliffNet wizard kit, and downloaded the latest Wizard from their site. When I open it, it detects the alarm, but when I click Continue a small window called "Interrogating System Compontents" comes up and never goes away (after 30+ minutes). Any ideas?

If you are using the wrong version of CliffNet Wizard on a XP computer it will not work properly. I am simply giving you a heads up in that regard with respect to OS conflicts.

Thanks for the heads up. As far as I know, this is the one that works with XP. The page I got it from said version 2.1 (which is what I have) works with NT/2k/XP, and so did the installer, so I'm assuming that it does.

Does it give you the option to select your model of alarm first?

It did, and I selected Avantguard 5. It doesn't give me that option anymore.

Hrmmmmm. Well the first thing I would do is reboot your laptop. Then reconnect your alarm CPU to the laptop and see what happens.

Done that several times.

OK, now what does it do? Just sits there, and does nothing?
If that is indeed the case, I would first unplug the alarms power, and let it drain for about 60 seconds.
Then do the reboot procedure of the laptop while the cable is disconnected from the alarm. Once the laptop is up and running.
Power up the alarm system wait aprox 60 seconds, then reconnect the cable and enter the Wizard interface.

if it's working properly it will know what alarm it's hooked too. I have used version 2.1 with windows xp successfully.

I'm having the same problem! I downloaded the program from cliffards website, so I'm not sure if that could be the reason it freezes up. using it with the intelliguard 850. It shows a information bar that states that my alarm is disarmed and that my ignition is off and if i arm it, it says that the alarm is armed and to disarm it to continue so I know that the cord is conected properly. When I press continue it freezes. PLEASE HELP! It says that the program is the 2.10

Defective cable? Wrong Com Port? Com port conflict - being used by something else?

Shame, quite a few ppl have had this problem. There has to be a solution somewhere!

the problem is caused by incompatible serial ports, usually due to a converter being used or a poor driver. I was trying to use mine through a USB port and converter cable with "prolific" software driver and it wouldn't have any of it, I bought a hardware com port and it worked first time. Richard
