Op-Com xyz error msg, why? How to solve?

[jodank]

My OP-COM interface is a clone one with the original PIC inside.
The firmware is 1.59, if I install it on my laptop I got two problems:
1. When I start the VAUX-COM as an admin I get a message:
"An xyz error occured:"
I don't know what is this for.


2. If I go to "Test interface" I got a msg:
"Please connect your interface to the USB port, or install the USB driver!"
My usb driver is installed and is listed in the Device Manager.
It shows as "OP-COM USB V2 Interface" .


The OS is Windows7 32bit Ultima.
The whole installation I do from the cd what was shipped with the tool.

I tried to figure out for a week or so what could cos this problem but without success.


Any suggestion pls?


Thnx.

On the CD what was with the tool are two versions of the software.
1. VAUX-COM_120309a+131223d_GB --> this is the version that tells me "xyz" error.
2. OPCOM 201008 --> this version is working but it is bugging.

I wanna use the tool on Win7 Ultimate 32bit.

Thanks for help.
My best regards.

Hmmm....Ok.

Maybe the problem is related to the 1.59 firmware? (I read the description on the link above).
They are upgrading the firmware to v1.6.

Maybe v1.59 won't work with the VAUX-COM_120309a?

Thanks for the reply.

Where you get it and how you solve it?

After spending _many_ hours trying to figure out why this bloody 'xyz' error pops up, I narrowed it down to Windows DEP (data execution protection), that I had enabled globally in the system. After disabling this - all works fine!

It seems the cracked loader or the soft itself has some protections in it and it does not like Windows messing around with its code.

i can imagine some AV/antimalware software could make OPCOM/VAUXCOM misbehave too.

Therefore - it has nothing to do with the hardware or driver.

Hope it helps someone.

Thanks for the replay.
At the moment I can not try your solution but maybe it can be a good solution.

Hope somebody can also check the solution and report...

Thank you very much !

I can confirm that it solved the "An xyz error occurred:" for the VAUX-COM (OP-COM) 120309a, my OS is Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
All i did was: go to Performanece options -> Data Execution Prevention -> select "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" -> click "Apply" -> close everything and restart your computer.

I have read somwhere else that downloading and installing the "Net.Framework 3.5" can also help with this problem. Other fix (which I temporarily did before) may be to install the program in virtual machine (in my case it was Windows 10) with disabled virus protection.
