Uninstalling and reinstalling FlashScan/AutoCal USB drivers

[Blacky]

I no longer have that version. Is it available somewhere yet?

Sorry, my mistake, I meant build 235 (not 135) available here:

Adding the Virtual COM Port option won't help. FlashScan does not use that.

I would recommend updating to the latest version here, except there is a known issue with the latest version that causes the exact problem you are seeing with build 235.
We are working on it right now, as soon as it is fixed in the latest version, I recommend updating.

I have found that doing this should allow V1 to work with the V7 software again:
Uninstall V7
Uninstall the USB drivers (using CMDUninstallerGUI described in the first post)
Reboot the machine
Re-installing V7.5.7.135
Connect FlashScan and wait for Windows to fail to load the drivers
Open up the device manager page, locate the FlashScan V1 entry, and re-install/update the drivers
Browse to the Win-2K drivers and install those (yes, even on Win7 and Win8)

Followed steps listed above but the FlashScan was immediately recognized when plugged in. Went to the device manager and installed the Win-2K drivers. Everything is working OK now.

Thanks

Have you tried using the EFILive USB Manager program?

Windows Start Button -> search for USB, right click on EFILive USB Manager and select Run As Administrator.

doing some research just find out that windows 11 is the only one that support M1 chip from Apple. maybe that why the windows won't install any driver. Looked into https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/
still won't like it. Maybe there an specific driver for the M1 chip...my old Mac is OK...I also order a different usb cable WO adaptor.
