I created a virtual machine running XP on my Windows 7 laptop because I couldn't get ecmspy to work with Windows 7. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work on the virtual machine either. The application opens up just fine, but if I plug up to the ECM, it will not interface. It worked when it was installed on the XP machine. Anyone have any tips? | ||

It runs 100% fine on Windows 7, you do not need to use XP mode for it, that will probably cause more issues, I don't know if the VM functionality can even use devices like com and USB ports. Open it with Windows 7, try and connect, let us know what error you are getting. | ||

The program opens fine in W7, but would not see the ECM. When I have it scan the com ports, it freezes, and I have to force close it. I had made a virtual copy of my XP machine when I got the new laptop, so that is why I was trying the VM figuring there was some compatibility issue with W7. I was going to try to uninstall and reinstall it last night, but I have misplaced the install disc. Should have made sure it worked when I first put in on the new laptop.  | ||

My ECMspy works fine on Windows 7 Ultimate. Make sure you always right-click on ECMspy and run as administrator in Windows 7. Also take a look in control panel ==> programs ==> uninstall a program, and make sure you have the FTDI CDM Driver Package installed. I think this one will work: http://windows-driver-package-ftdi-cdm-driver-p.so ftware.informer.com/ I'm not sure if those two hints will help, but that's what I thought of first when I read your problem. Good luck, and let us know what you did to solve it. | ||

Thanks for the tips. I am running as admin. I have the standard Windows Driver Package from Dell installed, but not the specific package you mention. I don't how or if they differ, but I'll give it a shot when I try to plug back up this weekend. |
