    DIS data transmission disrupted; port error; driver error

    Hey guys I'm kinda stuck in the water instill I can get my DIS working properly. I need to align a DME with the EWS. Basically I have a laptop I only use for my BMW software. I tried playing around with another program and windows updated the computer software. DIS use to work perfectly. I was only able to roll it back to January. I have tried to update drivers, and all that. So my problem that I think are causing the problem 1) my communications port is showing an error, but the USB serial port shows fine. 2) inside of DIS you have the little yellow scanner icon mine is not showing it is active or connected; the connection with the DME is good. I have connected this before in the past but I have no idea how I did that. I'm pretty sure if I can connect editables It will all work. Any help would be awesome and really appreciated.


    Update: I have no diagnostic head. How do I re-connect?

    While this won't help your DIS.. you can use this small app to sync your DME really quickly.

    What are you using as a diagnostic interface between the laptop and the car?

    k+dcan (for DIS) and just tried vagcom (Vag KKL) cable with the EWS standalone app; both connected to a 16/20 pin adapter. Nothing is recognized, so I bought a driver install app online. I'll update you tomorrow.

    I finally got DIS to work! Wow, that was a crazy day! -- It was several small things I suppose. Much harder this time than the first time I used DIS.
