Hi I am planning to use Cliffnet Wizard 2.20 to set up and adjust features on a Clifford Avantguar 4 G4 alarm.
Trouble is my laptop does not have a serial port and only has USB. Also I am running XP Pro edition. I have a serial to USB adaptor cable.
Just wondering will the Wizard work with this setup? I remember a while back someone told me that there was a problem using USB adaptors and XP concerning connection issues.
Anyone please advise.

hi there, yes its true there is a problem with the serial to usb connection i have tried to do this with a few laptops all running windows xp, i can not seem to get it to work eaither the laptops just freez and nothing happens, you might be better off using a desktop computer if you can. please let me know if you overcome this problem as i would like to know aswell, thanks joe.

It wont work like the rest of us (including USA) at time of writing you will have to wait, suggest May/Jne; I've been phoning UK/California for 6 months over this, lets face it in a crunch you can manually do everything except starter crank time.
