Ultimate II Computer download help - Page 2

I have a AutoMeter Ultimate II tach that I cannot get to download to the computer. I loaded the software that came with the tach. I then bought a cable to connect the 9 pin connector on tach to computer(usb) port. The cable is a gigware from radioshack. I also downloaded the software that came with the cable. when you open up tach facts and select download run it only says invalid port try again. When you download the cable software it takes you through a number of steps and at the end you have to select a com port for the cable. My computer has com8 for that. I tried numerous other ports and got nowhere. Before someone asks yes I went to radioshack and the kid behind the counter looked at me like what do you want me to do about it so I left. Autometer was no help either. Any ideas? Sorry so long. Ed
