This could be a matter of the wrong com port being selected. Mine goes through a serial to usb converter but on my laptop I still need to connect to it by selecting com5.
Try each com port in turn and hopefully you'll find the solution.

the two datalogits we tried were ordered at the same time.
we are stumped right now and i have 3 cars that i have to tune... i'm gonna have to buy back my old beige box arrrrg

OK here is the answer to one of your questions
AN1 this ? Input 0-5V
AN2 this ? Input 0-5V
AN3 this ? Input 0-5V
AN4 this ? Input 0-5V
AN5 this ? Input 0-5V or Switched inputs
AN6 this ? Input 0-5V or Switched inputs
AN7 this ? Input 0-5V or Switched inputs
AN8 this ? Input 0-5V or Switched inputs
0V this ? Ground for AN1 thru AN-8
On the serial port make sure the settings are correct..... Like the following
This is how your serial port setting should be
Bits per second --9600
Data Bits -----------8
Parity ---------------None
Stop Bits -----------1
Flow Control -------None
Also make sure that you have the correct Datalogit version (Black/Grey)
AN1 this ? Input 0-5V
AN2 this ? Input 0-5V
AN3 this ? Input 0-5V
AN4 this ? Input 0-5V

the bits per second on the serial port settings won't make a difference, but don't change anything else from default.
oxygen!!! go here, this might work for you as well

Are you using a radio shack serial to usb cable? If so you need to download the proper driver for it. Then the next problem you will have is finding the proper com port. Takes a while to get it up and going but once you do you'll never have a problem and if you do you'll know exactly what to do

Hey I just found my problem with my new datalogit. I went to windows manager and made sure my usb convertor in working. I had to reload a driver for the usb and it set itself to com 4. I think most of your problems are that the drivers are not being downloaded.
Thanks Robert
