ECMlink DSMLink Failed:'java.io.I0 exception port currently owned by unknown windows application'

[baby huie]

ok DSMLink is now in the car and it runs great but I boot DSMLink up and hit capture are it gives me this error "Failed:'java.io.I0 exception port currently owned by unknown windows application'". What should I do?

I am in the serial port and i tried switching to different coms on DSMLink and on com 1 and 4 it says Failed:'java.io.I0 exception port currently owned by unknown windows application' and on com 2 and 3 it tells me 'java.io. application has been timed out'. I think that my serial port on my computer is com 2 how do I check for sure?

If any one on here is good with computers and can call me and walk me through this to help me get it working my number is 1719 320 5277 or drop me a line and I'll call you back, I got free long distance.

go to system properties -> device manager (how to get to that varies from win95-xp)

look under ports and then properties for your com ports

if you have one its usually com 1 and if you have two its usually (duh) 1 and 2

that error msg suggests to me that you of course aren't getting connection between the serial and the computer since its saying unknow port, rather then the serial port not talking to the dsmlink

I would check in your BIOS to make sure the serial port is indeed enabled and then make sure you have updated drivers for your motherboard.

steps to do the more advanced things are something that isn't easily done without knowing specifc info about your machine. if you are still having problems after checking this please tell me your operating system and your computer model at the very least.
