    Default VR Commodore_Com timeout: Expecting frame header byte

    Looking for help....

    Brought a 232 16 pin usb cable off micheal on ebay... member on just commodores.
    My problem is this...
    Used EFILive4 on my old VN with a 160 cable no probs.
    Used the 16 pin on a VY yesterday, again no probs (checking lappy and cable)
    I now have a VR UTE that doesn't want to transmit...
    Plug in and all i get is the Com timeout: Expecting frame header byte..
    Tried pc port adjustments, tried EFILive port adjustments no joy...
    Had a look through other threads and there maybe seems to be an addressing problem, not sure how to precede.

    Any help appreciated as have a few issues that need attention.
