I have an issue, I don't know if it is a bug or just me.
When I have the computer in the car and communicating after a few minutes the computer freezes. I have to completely reboot the computer afterwards. it only does it if I am using the ALDL, My Ostrich can be hooked up all day long w/o locking up. It is probably something simple but I have no idea where to start looking. Guidance please?

It should work fine on Vista. What is the behavior you see when you say "lock"? Does the computer simply become unresponsive altogether, or do you simply stop getting data from the vehicle, and you can't reconnect (suggesting the car's computer is "locked")?

the first laptop I had this setup on was XP and had no issues. This computer worked good for several months until It ate a HD. I got everything reloaded and it worked fo a while.Mangus wrote:It should work fine on Vista. What is the behavior you see when you say "lock"?

when it locks up it locks EVERYTHING up, the mouse is frozen, I can't open the task manager. I have to force a shutdown with the powerbutton.
and get the warning for improper shutdown on restart.
Sound very much like a driver issue. Make sure you're running the latest FTDI driver:
