Come on, now, there's a whole forum for this. Go to the EcuFlash sub-forum and read the tutorials as well as the many threads where this same thing happened. This happens to a lot of people, and we've given the solution to this and many other problems when trying to use the _TACTRIX_ (not tantrix, wtf) cable.

Ok? That sub-forum is under the engine management main forum. Head over there...
