Here are some suggestions:

- Check the serial baud rate that you are transmitting at in both Windows and Vehicle Explorer. You want to make sure that Vehicle Explorer is not trying to connect at a higher rate than Windows is capable of.

- Check the other settings on the Options->Gateway menu of Vehicle Explorer. Make sure that you have the Tricom Interface checked.

- Make sure that you are turning the key to the ON position before you try to connect with the software.

Hope this helps.
