In the communications setup try these settings:

non-OBDII only and J1850 PWM.

Then try different USB connections on your laptop/pic. My older AE versions get a little touch with the high speed USB ports.

Try wiggling the USB cord on the computer side, if the computer is on the old side and you use the USB a lot they can become finicky. If I don't rest mine just right it won't read the truck. Good luck and hope that helps.

From what little I've used AE, I can honestly say I don't like it. It hangs, crashes and is generally buggy.

So you were able to get updated to the latest version and still go with no dongle? I have an early version as well (V 7.3) and if it can be upgraded without the need for a dongle that means I only need one USB port which opens the door to a lot of different Windows devices.

Do a search for "AE class". It doesn't give all the answers, but it shows you how to ask the right questions.
