    Well....
    At 2am I got it to work.
    Flashed and read it a couple of times and no problem.
    Plugged it into the truck this morning....no go. Laptop wouldn't recognise the USB device.
    So...drove my wife's car to work and brought the PCM with me and plugged it into my laptop again.
    Works!!!
    We'll see what happens this afternoon when I get home.
    I'm running XP and V7.5.4 so I should have the most upto date drivers

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    Have you registered the roadrunner on both computers Howard. Also make sure you have changed either to or from Virtual com port in the roadrunner settings. Cant remember off hand which way this is set(laptop is at home)

    Yes Mick,
    set it up the same on both PC's.
    It was on my laptop I had it working at 2 this morning. When I put the PCM in the car....that's when I had issues.
    Just says device not recognised.
    Seems to be working OK on the bench at present.

    try uninstalling the driver with the ftclean utility in the
    Program Files>EFILive>V7.5>Drivers folder.
    then re-install the driver for the RR, restart PC,
    then re-install the driver for your V2/V1, re-start PC.
    this should give you a clean install of the drivers.

    Well...
    I did as you suggested.
    It worked...I was able to connect but it keeps dropping out and reverting to the "USB device not recognised" message.
    I did manage to keep it running long enough to log and test it and it worked.
    As soon as I disconnected the USB cable to install it correctly....again as above...not recognised.
    It's like the driver keeps disappearing?

    It Lives!!!!!
    Thanks to Jez for steering me in the direction of the RR install tutorial.
    I didn't have the ports or latency set up correctly.
    Tomorrow's drive to work will be the real tell tale......but I'm confident.
    Thanks all for the suggestions.

    Hmmm...still have issues.
    Drove interstate (just got back) and if I leave the RR running for more than about 5 min's...it drops out/closes.
    I then have to re-open it and restart the RR???
    Sometimes the virtual com port disappears and I get the message "no Road Runner device detected".
