If it works with Vista, it works with 7. Just not the 64bit I believe. You can however run your machine in 32b mode and run s300 that way. I use my 7 laptop weekly with s300, kpro, flash pro. no issues at all.

Either you have a bunk usb cable, or the end could be damaged in the ecu where it plugs in to it, all it needs is power and you should get the noise that lets you know its connected. If youhavent got that far its because you have no comm. try a diff cable, or try another s300, or something along those lines

That is definitely not the problem. I run Hondata on my 64bit laptop w/ win7. Try a different cable?

My windows seven laptop has issues with K pro mostly. I am going back to a windows xp computer.

I can plug my ecu in and it will take up to 5 minutes sometimes for it to connect!
