ECUFlash and EvoScan problems with Asus Eee PC
I have been having problems getting ECUFlash and EvoScan to work properly with my Asus Eee PC 1000h. The OS is XP Home and I've been running PCMScan for months with no problems.
ECUFlash problem:
With my Eee I'm unable to 'Read from ECU' but I AM able to 'Compare to ECU.'
When I click 'Read from ECU' the screen that usually appears with the list of ECUs comes up blank.
I'll get some screen shots up later this evening.
EvoScan problem:
Unable to log with Mode23. I know I've read that EvoScan won't function properly if your voltages aren't to par, but I've tried running power straight from my Cig Lighter to the laptop and still no luck.
What I've tried:
Re-installed both ECUFlash and EvoScan (several times) making sure to delete any files leftover from previous installs and cleaned the Registry.
Re-installed OpenPort 2.0 drivers (at least twice.)
Tried four or five different USB cables.
Played with every possible power setting I know of one the computer.
Tried new laptop power cables.
Ordered a new battery for the computer (en route, should be here later this week)
Additional Comment:
I have been able to Read and Write to the ECU and log in EvoScan using Mode23 using a friend's 15" Sony Laptop running Windows 7 so I don't think it's the OP2.0 cable itself.
Help needed. Thanks.

I'm running both on a Dell Mini ( without issue. Though I haven't used "compare to ecu"...)
Intel®Atom®Processor Z520 (1.33GHz/533MHz FSB/512K Cache)
Which Eee PC model are you running?

My carpc works fine and it is an Atom 330 Processor (1.6Ghz, Dual Core). PCMScan and EVOScan work great but ECUFlash doesn't work.
I am about to upgrade the MB on my system and upgrade to Windows 7 very soon. I figure it is something with the install, but I haven't been worried enough about it to care to fix it yet.

Is this the file you downloaded/installed?
ecuflash_1422595_win.exe
Are you using the tactrix cable? Or have you tried it? I know you said that you have tried several cables...

I have the same processor in my dell mini, same OS, but 1GB less ram. No problems...

Yes, I'm using the Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 cable. I was referring to having tried different USB cables.
Thanks.
Anybody else?

Any idea of what I might be doing wrong? Are there settings I should check are a certain way?
I'm hoping that new battery arrives and solves all my problems. The battery I have now hasn't been performing as well as it used to.

No, I upgraded the RAM to 2GB the day I bought it. I didn't have to change anything, I installed Evoscan and ECUFlash without doing anything special.

Were you able to successfully configure Mode23? I know you've logged with it from your friends laptop but are you sure that you configured it correctly on your computer?
I'll triple-check everything and report back.

Today is the last day of my job (WOOHOO!) so pictures will come as soon as I can get to my car--I walk to work so I go days without seeing/driving it.
I uninstalled my USB wireless mouse in case that was throwing things off some how.
Still have a feeling it's something to do with the voltages being off if it's not a software issue. And I'm still waiting on the new battery to try. Anyway, thanks for the replies, I'll hopefully have something more to report by tomorrow.
