I just bought it about a week ago. I just updated all the drivers, the bios, etc. And did all the Windows Updates on Windows 10. The auto rotate does not always work. I know there is a button on the side and I make sure the auto rotate button is not the correct setting. As for the lowest cost of leaving the moon, one could use mass drivers. Or mag Lev trains to gain enough velocity to leave the Moon. One also use cannons. One needs about 1/4 of velocity to leave the Moon as compared to Earth, and high velocity is possible because the Moon is vacuum. So does it not do it auto in this instance. If you download drivers from nvidia there’s an option to custom install clean install which will wipe your old drivers. Just look at a tutorial on YouTube.

Windows XP: Control Panel » System » 'Hardware' tab » Device Manager

Notice any device with any one of the following names:

1. FT232R USB UART
2. Prolific USB-to-Serial..
3. USB Serial Port
4. USB2.0-Serial
5. Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge

NONE of above devices should have a yellow mark () next to them.

If none of the above has a yellow mark, then congratulations! You're ready to begin scanning your car(s). Click here on how to connect to your car in the next 5 minutes..

If any one of above devices has a yellow mark, then:

2. Unplug cable
3. Restart PC
4. Download and unextract DRIVER PACK 6
5. Double-click on 'InstallUSB' to install
6. Connect cable to laptop. Yellow mark should now be gone. Success!
   If yellow mark is STILL not gone after doing 1-6 above, then do this:

   b) Click on: Update Driver Software
   c) Choose: Browser my computer for driver software
   d) Browse to and select folder where you unextracted Driver Pack 6. Make sure 'Include subfolders' is ticked ON.

Common Solutions:

If you're unable to connect successfully to your car, then that's because of 2 reasons:

1. Your vehicle is notOBD2 compatible.
   
2. Random issues that can be fixed with below solutions..

Here are solutions in recommended order:

1. First check that ELM327 is physically working (not defunct). When you plug in the cable into a USB port, all the lights on ELM327 interface/device should flash. And then it'll return to 1 red light (power).
   Condition of a defunct ELM327 interface: All lights will not initially flash, and only red light will be on.
   
2. Restart computer (while keeping cable connected to laptop). Try again.
   
3. Plug USB into different physical port of your computer. Try again.
   
4. If all above solutions fail, then we will help you (only if you are Total Car Diagnostics customer). Here's all you need to do..
   

   Connect ELM327 USB cable into laptop. (Don't need to plug the other end to car)

   Step 1: Go to Control Panel.

   Windows Vista/7/8/10: Control Panel » System » Device Manager
   Windows XP: Control Panel » System » 'Hardware' tab » Device Manager

   Step 2: Expand 'Ports (COM & LPT)' and 'Other Devices'.
