Have you tried the XP compatibility mode? Use Windows explorer to browse to the install folder. Right-click on the program's icon (pc3usb.exe) and then clicking Troubleshoot compatibility.

Rob.....i tried it again today....all i get (when plugged in) is "pc3 installing" then when that's done i get "driver device installed" then when i close that box, that's it, nothing again.....i dont know what's going on

Don't know why you'd need a 9v connector as mentioned earlier but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Have you googled to see if anyone getting this with pc3 usb on another make/model of bike? Can you borrow an xp laptop for 1/2 hour from someone? Not sure why it won't work with win 7 for you as it does for me and others. I wonder if fault is in pc3 but only the usb side of it and not in it's normal function.
???

Dont know anyone with xp, well i do but it's on a comp not a laptop
I'm begining to think there's a problem with the pc 3 as the usb's on both laptops are fine, as a very last resort, i get buy or rig up the 9v and try with the laptop.....if that wont work then i really am stumpted, and will prob take it off

Yes I think that's right. Unlikely for 2 laptops to be f**ked.
I think my next step would be to drop an email to tech support at dynojet (before looking at the 9V connector options). Tell them exactly what symptoms you are getting. When I emailed them about some stuff they got back to me pretty quickly.
Even if the usb on the pc3 is stuffed it does not mean you can't use it on the bike.
Let us know how it goes.

When I change or make a new setup with my bike & all the others I tune , I always plug in the 9V connector into the side of the unit with the bike turn off & load my map or delet the maps .... That is how I have all ways done it ... Never heard of it being done any different from this !
I'd either need to buy one or rig something up and try it for a last time before taking it off
I dont like the idea though of not know what it's like in standard form, then it'd be up to me whether or to fit one.....I'm tempted to take it off but it's the blue connector on the t/b, I dont know how it unclips

It's a spring clip thing that holds it in I think. Don't you slide it out to allow you to remove the plug. Does it not show you on that install guide?

Not clear from that guide. Just lifted my tank to have a look. It's not what I thought but it is a plastic spring thing built in to the plug. Press it in and pull plug and socket gently apart.
Rob
When you say press it in, I take it you mean the round bit that goes round the wire.....I take it there's a blade of some kind in it much the same as a scotchlock (sp lol)
Did you buy the proper connector or can you fudge it somehow?
Rob
I did my own...two cabels and a 9v battery and it worked fine
So ian1 try to use a 9v battery...yes i can be wrong but it worked for me.

There are 10 pins on the socket. Which does 9V positive and negative go to?

Sorry when you said t/b I thought you were talking about throttle body connector. You mean tps (throttle position sensor) connector. Have you never used a scotchlock before? They come off pretty much reverse of how they go on. Hard to explain in words. Best to insulate the tps wire (where scotchlock has cut insulation) once you remove it just in case.
Rob
Rob
Yes I've used many a scotchlock, I just meant the bit of metal inside them will probably be much the same as the inside of the blue connector that goes onto the tps ie to "cut" into the wire

Yes, if you open the scotchlock carefully you should be able to remove the tps wire from the metal blade thing that cuts through the insulation.

Rob, it's not a proper scotchlock "block" as I've used before, it's round, and about 1" long and 1/4 " wide and the round bit at the top that the wire's inside...I'll have another look tommorow
I emailed Dynotec and said what was happenening so I'll hopefully hear from them this week and see if they can shed any light on it

Mine has a regular scotchlock type. Is yours the t-tap type? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sGbES2_Tg0
