Megatune disconnecting randomly
I just re-installed my megasquirt to prep for my turbo going in next week. I started tuning some off boost cells, but megatune keeps randomly disconnecting from the controller. All i have to do to get it to reconnect is pull out the USB and put it back in to the laptop, but it is still really annoying and hinders my data logging capabilities. Any help would be appreciated!
Info:
Dell Inspiron E1505
Windows XP Media Edition
Com port 1
USB to Serial adapter
MS1 V3.0 in parallel on a 1996 1.8
Hi-Res code
Let me know if you need any other info.

I imagine your adapter is good since it came from DIY, but worth a mention since I went through three (yes 3) adapter setups before getting mine to communicate right last week.
I got this based on Brain's recommendation, not a quibble since:
GigawareŽ 6-ft. USB-A to Serial Cable - RadioShack.com

i really dont want to blow $40 if i dont have to (thats $$ for a EBC right there!)
I think it might be a setting within my computer that is causing it to ignore the usb or something. I am going to try re-installing the driver.
EDIT:
when i clicked the driver install this popped up real quick.
Is this normal? I am software illiterate
And no, that isnt my car... thats revlimeter's old "Sharka" from clubroadster.

Here are 2 logs i did on the way home. Should be about 20 minutes and 40 minutes respectivly.
I dont see anything weird other than the fact that my car IS NOT TUNED AT ALL RIGHT NOW. i just got it drivable, so ignore the fact that it isnt tuned.
Every time it disconnected and the screen went pink i unplugged the USB and plugged it back in... megatune came right back and it still said logging.
These were on a stock 1.8 with the 550cc injectors installed on DIY's map BARELY touched (not tuned)
P.S. ignore my IAT, i was getting heat soak like crazy with the stock intake (it was 45*F ambient)
EDIT: it refuses to attatch the files. ill try to post them elsewhere

Don't get why DIY's cable is so expensive. I've always bought them for about $10 elsewhere. Been using the one of these for about 3 years for router configuration. And have 3 more for MS (Bench, Miata, 240sx).
