I has the switch upwards for HS-Can as well.
Make sure you installed the USB drivers first
Check connection after doing so.
If still no connection
Go into the settings of forscan
Make sure the right port and type is selected.
Try to connect again.
Report back if those don't work.

Thanks guys, this is the cable I purchased

it was one that a member on here purchased and said it was good. I will try some of the suggestions that you guys offered and see what happens after that.

I got it working finally, not sure why it didn't work prior, because I didn't do anything differently. Now with changing stuff do I just double click on the module I want to access?

Also how do you apply for the extended license? I thought i did apply but when i got into things it says i need one. Sorry for all the simple questions. I'm new to this kind of stuff, I'm used to old school ways where there are no computers.

www.forscan.org has pretty good instructions...once you get the extended license, you have to save it to your computer, then go into Forscan and load the license. It will only work for that computer and expires in 2 months. You can get a new license when that expires (or have multiples at the same time for different computers)

I am assuming you have my spreadsheet so go to the instructions tab and click on the HUGE how to link. It explains all of this.
