Just got my chinaman Lexia 3, however after installing, I attempt to fire it up and it says that it cant be started because interface isn't plugged into USB port or is being used by something else - it is plugged in!
Any ideas, as I am now lost!

mongoose100, do you see the green light indicator on the hardware after plugging in? If you do, does it show that it is installing new hardware? Check the device manager and make sure it is listed. You can see the difference in the list by unplugging the device and plugging it back in.
To launch lexia, the diagnostic device has to be plugged in, but the other end going to the car's OBD socket is not necessary. You can also try to change to another USB port, give it 1 minute to install the drivers first then launch lexia again.
Good luck!

Hi, yes, light comes on, have tried 2 PC's without luck from either. It gives me the option of installing device software from a CD but then refuses to do soseroyen wrote:mongoose100, do you see the green light indicator on the hardware after plugging in?

Hello again,
The diagnostic tool will not work with lexia unless the drivers are installed. Is Windows telling you that the driver could not be installed or that it could not be found? You can try pointing Windows to the APPLIC folder located in your local disk during driver installation.
