yes...change the read interval (originally 4ms) to 1000ms and see what happens. it will in essence "read" from the ostrich much slower, hopefully giving it enough time to respond.
i use an ostrich 2 and it has worked for me every time....

I tried 1000,2000, and it still gives me an error that it is an incompatible rom. I save it anyway and I can not open it. I'm using a DELL with a 400mhz processor and 256mb of RAM on XP.
you have the switch on the side of ostrich to 28 pin, ( dam I can't remember the other switch). the ribbon cable with the chip on it connected to the ecu and ostrich, right?
I'll just keep messing with different things and combination's I guess.
