Default VAG-COM Question

Just got my VAG tool in and when I try to scan it gives me an error saying "Cant synch baud" Anyone know what causes this or know how to fix it? Thanks

Default What cable are you using...

are you using a serial or USB port on the computer? And are there any adaptors between the cable and the computer?

Default I am using a USB-->SERIAL cable

but I got the one that is supposed to be "compatible" with VAG-COM. Are there any settings I should change. I am able to change bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control, FIFO buffers, etc. I can pull my general fault codes and a couple modules, but everything else (ABS, EngineI, Engine II, etc.) either says cant access or says synch baud error $5B.

I'm using the Keyspan USA-19HS and it works for me as a USB-serial adapter for VAG-COM
