I've been having some problems while logging where I lose the connection while driving and can't get it back unless I start a new log. I have the MPVI Pro box. I've tried using different usb ports on my computer to no avail. I also ordered a new grey usb cable. I haven't had any problems while logging with just the memory in the interface box, although I do that less often.
Are there any common problems pertaining to this?
Any suggestions on fixing it?
Thanks.
Brian
Starting with a new usb cable is a good start.
Also try using a different laptops usb ports to see if one of your serial ports is going on you.

Bill,
I'm having similar issues, EVERY time I start the scanner or editor I have to click help/hp icon to verify licensing, sometimes I have to pull the usb cable and plug it back in, once I do that I can use whichever (scan/edit) I just verified, then when I switch I have to do it all over again. I have tried all 4 ports on my laptop (which is only a year old) and it is the same for each. Surely this isn't normal. Is there a setting or something that may be off?

It may just be that the laptop moves ever so slightly and that severs the connection. Although when it tries to reconnect, even moving the wires and such, it has never reconnected. I always have to start logging over.
Any more ideas on this? I had the problem again today. I don't think it's a physical connection issue. When it loses connection all I do is hit esc for it to stop retrying then space bar to start a new log and it works until it decides to crap out again.
I was having the same issues. Now they are getting worse. Now I cannot connect at all. I have tried 2 different laptops and bought a new USB cable. I have tried several vehicles. If it connects it only lasts for a few seconds then says cannot connect to interface.
Any fixes for this?
