Just had a issue with my laptop. It's a samsung running windows 8. It's about 2-3 years old. I have not had to use it in several months so I had a boat load of updates to do to it.
After updating everything I plug in my autoprom and start tunerpro. I noticed I did not hear the beep-beep it normally does when it detects a device, however at the bottom it says hardware: autoprom v2.17.A and next to it says ready. So I figure it just no longer does the beep thing. Well I load up my ADX and hit connect, the "ready" disappears but nothing else happens. It will not connect. I hit the connect button again and still nothing. I hit the button to "initialize emulation hardware" normally this would cause the beep-beep and connect the autoprom if it wasn't already. Still no beep and still no connection.
So I go back into the house and drag out my old dinosaur dell running xp. When starting tunerpro it beeps and I can connect to the vehicle perfectly fine. I log with it and finish what I need to do.
I hook the autoprom back to the newer laptop and still nothing. It does not beep, but yet it says it finds the autoprom. Just for the hell of it, I hook it up to my desktop (asus running windows 8 with all current updates) and start tunerpro. I get the beep-beep, however I can't exactly hook it up to the jeep. But the fact that it beeps but the laptop does not makes me think something is up with the laptop.
I did not have this issue several months ago (which was the last time I used it) so I am thinking a update somewhere may have changed something. But I have no idea what or where to look.
