u need the usb driver that came with the microsoft software, windows 7 is a pain in the butt and if you connected the ecu and tried to connect without the correct usb driver than your up shit creek and gonna have a hard time getting it to work, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i had the same issue with the Vi-pec software, i had to use the older usb driver that Vi-pec had.

im not sure with mi-corrects but do they have a serial cable coming out then the microsoft adaptor converts it to usb so that you can connect it to the commport of the laptop???

hmmm thanks for ur help jez... im just gunna give up on this laptop idea and go buy a handcontroller... only wanted to take some fuel out of it so i could let it idle and bleed the coolent system... thankyou anyway mate

and yeah it has a serial cable 9 pin.. then u have to buy the microtech laptop dongle thing then plug it in the a serial port... well thats the way i had it set up

Good luck mate... I'm running a Motec M series ECU and the software currently doesn't recognise Windows 7.

Microtech aren't even in the same ballpark.
