Dunno then! Ill clean up the code, and do a step by step action.
Will also chuck up the vb solution file if anyone wants to see whats happening, or wants to debug and see what the elm is actually sending!

Will Update soon

*Edit
Im doing this on windows 7/8, seems to work happily on either, dont get any problems there. Again, not using a proper cable though, just emulators. Be interesting to see why its crashing with a real cable, might need somone to step through the program with the cable connected to see what the issue is!

You dont have VB10 installed on your computer by anychance? Should be able to put a breakpoint on the receivedmessages and check what was actually received!

Least its not crashing.. its attempting to send.. not receiving anything then ending like it should... apparent from the whole not find elm device!

*Sigh* Its either a) not perfectly compliant with what a elm does eg respond to "ATZ"
or b) My app is still doing something wrong! lol

Im leaning towards my program doing something wrong since Charlescrown is having problem with a proper cable!

May I suggest running a free serialport monitor in background, see if the elm is even responding?! Just connect to the cable in the monitor then run my app.. see if the elm responds back (only do if you have nothing better to do! lol)
Use this free monitor.. its HDD free serial monitor:

Couldnt find it on the net so just grabbed the one I use in my virtual machine (doesnt work on windows8)

I can test it out tomorrow on mine, from previous command responses I got it said it was an elm327!
I have another serial port monitor too & can try that & see what it's doing!
