Well THAT'S good to hear. I finally attempted to use my DAD today and ran into a cascading series of problems.FWIW, my DAD works perfectly on a Dell laptop with Windows 10 Home 64 bit. It also worked fine for me on Windows 7 64 bit.
From your description, that actually is the usual sequence of displays...The Diagnostics program starts, displays the splash screen and appears to communicate with Frito. I see a flashing LED on the Keyspan. This with vehicle not running, ignition switch in position 2.
When I click on the "start diagnostics" big grey button, an all-white window opens with a menu bar across the top. One of the menu choices allows me to choose the vehicle type and the various modules.
Selecting, say, the ABS module brings up a smaller window titled "Communication in Progress" and "Communication Under Construction". A progress bar grows slowly across the screen to about 75%, then disappears with a Windows "beep".
None of this screen display looks familiar from when I saw the DAD working.
OMG THANK YOU, THANK YOU. It worked.As far as i know, the DAD cannot disable that "feature" .... and i assume you've tried the documented procedure in the Owner's manual?

Contact the source:FOUND MY DAD 5.0 disk, but is there a way to get the upgrade DAD 5.X?
Are you using the same PC (and serial adapter, if needed) that you used in the past?DR A , I purchased the scan tool. it was working perfect. Today I am having boost problems. when I hooked up the scan tool it will read live data but will not read any modules. What do you think? Thanks Daryl
I have one that does the same also. If I heat up the box it will work.The DAD seems to be sensitive to temperature (mine loses channels into my Sprinter when it's below 50F)

The DAD seems to be sensitive to temperature (mine loses channels into my Sprinter when it's below 50F), and it also seems to depend upon the PC's accuracy regarding serial port bit-rate (which changes up and down across a wide range when the DAD is being used).

I have also found that my DAD unit is finicky as to liking warmer temperatures.I have one that does the same also. If I heat up the box it will work.
