Which scan tool device do you have?
You can download the software with instructions and needed files at Tore B's website here:
http://privat.bluezone.no/toreb2000/t-productsEN.html
Unzip the file and you will find step by step instructions for installing and configuring the software. These work. If I recall correctly you need to choose either 964 or 993 and configure the software accordingly.
If you still can't make it work please post or PM me and I will dig out my Thinkpad and see if I can offer better suggestions. Good luck.

I use an ACER Aspire notebook I picked up used for $100. Works fine. Very portable.
