What version of the cable do you have?

I used mine a few nights ago and said the firmware was up-to-date. Then again, I had to use version 5 of the software as 6 would immediately "crash".

Interesting. I wonder if the other vin that was used will pop up along with mine eventually?

Did you update the usb driver for software version 6? The usb driver is different for version 5 and 6. Not sure how version 5 works, but with version 6 you must have the tool plugged into the usb before you start the program or it will crash immediately. Or it may be that your tool is not supported by version 6 software.
