evo scan and ecuflash questions need help

I tryed to datalog my evo9 using evoscan (latest version) and tactrix cable and couldn t get it to work it connect succesfully and reconnect 1 sec later and dissangaged connection! and the excel files for that +/- 1 sec of log gets created but is unavailable (file doesn't exist). can anyone help? I know I am probably doing or forgetting something stupid so please you guys don't be too hard with me it is my first attempt!
Also, I can't get my ecu flash to work: when I try to read/download ECU a blank window opens and nothing happens, can anyone helps?
Sorry for asking stupid questions but I am trying to learn and read a lot but I couldn't figure what I did wrong.
thanks

As far as logging what items do you have selected in EvoScan? If you don't have a wideband you can't log wideband, if you havent setup your ECU for 2byte load / rpm / airflow then you can't select those.

Try logging with just these selected

battery level
throttle position
engine rpm
injector pulse
airflow hz
air temp
speed
load calculated
knock sum

What do you mean all mixed up? Its not to do with the latest version of Excel that is for sure.

I mean all the logs look like that
4,2008-03-28,13:48:11.16500,0.428,,0,7750,,,316.4,69.8,-20,,,319.8,,,,,,,,32.768,0,,,,,,,38,,,,,,,,,,,,,10 240.3125,3499.776,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 17: 248
that would be one line all written in cell A5! Instead of having the values in different cells?

The logs are stored as CSVs (Comma separated values) and thats what each line looks like. If excel is opening the log as a CSV (ensure the extension has not been changed) and showing each line as a value instead of a row then Office is probably just horked. Uninstall/re-install or try something else that opens CSVs such as Open Office maybe?

Is your ECU setup to use 62500 as a baud rate? Did you make the mods to the rom to allow this?
