I get the same error no cable yet. I want to order one today, but I think they are out

 

I ordered mine today - and it sent out today...

 

3 or 4 installs here as well on both my laptop and desktop getting the updated definitions to show, etc, etc. The desktop I just use to view maps posted, etc and I have always gotten the load error. Never gotten it on the laptop pnce windows ran through the install routine after the cable was plugged in and the drivers were where they needed to be.

 

Its only an error for the driver though, if you aren't going to use it to write or read maps.. Then it doesnt matter (obviously) but at least knowing it will probably go away once the cable is plugged in will make many people feel a little more comfortable.

 

BTW, I don't think this program supports Windows 98. So if you have an obsoleted OS like that, you might get the same error.

 

I did what MalibuJack said, It worked for me.

 

it works on my desktop machines however my notebook is a different story. when I connect the cable it prompts for driver install and I do so, it sez successfuly installed then it recognizes my usb ports as new hardware to be installed and the software gives me the error loading FTD2XX.DLL message again and wont let be pull my rom from the car

kinda seems like a conflict or somthing

Help please if ya can, its a long way from my desk to my car

ps once the drivers are installed on my desktops the error is gone with or without the cable connected

 

Andenbre, same thing happens to me. Same error, and I can't download my ROM.

 

I was able to get it to work on a friends gateway. I am going to try completly removeing the program and drivers then reinstall with the cable conected. right now I have a 10 foot usb extention cable between my downstairs computer and the garage. I will let ya know what happens

 

I'm going to do the same.

 

try to remove it all, then download 1.26 and after that download 1.27. it worked for me.

 

I deleated the open ecu folder, and uninstalled the device open port 1.3 mitsubishi in the hardware manager under the drivers tab, then attached the cable to the computer and when the hardware intall wizard poped up i hit cancel. Then i installed the 1.27 with the cable connected and it worked perfectly, just had to select the port under options. however the ftd error was gone when I opened the program the first time before I selected the port

 

no manual driver installs needed just skip the hardware wizard that pops up when you plug the cable in, just install the program with the cable connected

 

+1

 

As soon as I plugged the cable in - the "found new hardware" wizard popped up.

So, you need to have the cable plugged in - in order to run the software correctly for the first time. Once you do that - the cable doesn't have to be plugged in.
