make sure that the connection setting is to USB. on your computer go to options> connection settings> then if it says 'none' or 'com 1' change it to 'USB'.
maybe this will help.
hope so

I have done that and those settings are ok. DM recognizes the device and it shows connected but no features will work. It seems to lockup up the DM. When I disconnect the cord it will let you access the features.

I wish I could help you but no such luck. Try calling marohard and see if they can help. Or maybe one of the smart guys or gals here can lend some asst. I got nothing.

what version of DTM are you runing? Donwload 4.2 SP1 and that should be fine. I have been runing it on Vista since Vista's release

I have Vista and I have no issues. I even downloaded the newest software for my phone through the DM, and no problems at all.

That has nothing to do with it, you can be logged in as administrator, but if you have user account control off, DM won't work...

UAC must be on

This is a write up I did a while back. If you follow these steps you will without a doubt get your device to work. Not everyone has had to do every step but some people have to.

From the sounds of it though you have everything except making sure that UAC is ON. If not it DM will not work.
