Help, having these errors in INPA; IFH-0018, Error #95, and Error #28

[Lelan]

Hello I am new to software on cars and it took me a while to figure out how to get INPA to even install, but I finally got it installed and now I am getting 3 different errors and was wondering if you guys could help me.

The First:


The Second:


And the Third:
ApiCheckJobStatus: Error #95
SYS-0005: OBJECT FILE NOT FOUND
API job error or no such result !

I have added the obd file to C:/ WINDOWS like many people have said to do in help threads on this topic, but that hasn't help and I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight.

Thanks for the help,
Lelan

here you go,

1.9 Createfile_error: OPEN CONNECTION; IFH 0018- INITIALIZATION
ERROR

ADS Interface:
The following error appears when Ediabas is started:

Createfile_error: OPEN
CONNECTION

OBD Interface:
The following error appears when Ediabas is started:

Error 28: IFH 0018- INITIALIZATION
ERROR. (Also see Section 3.3)
Reason: Ediabas is attempting to access port COM1. However, the port doesn't exist, or it
has been taken by another programme (e.g. HotSync from Palm, infrared).

Solution: Install a COM1 interface or free it.

So I'm having the same first error you see in the OP, IFH-0018. Every single time. I can't get past it in NCS Expert. I was thinking of making my own thread just now after hours and hours of searching and tinkering, then I saw this. To be more specific, this is what I'm getting:

EDIABAS NCS
vin is faulty
COAPI 2000 EDIABAS or SGBD error
IFH-0018 Initialization error

So to reiterate:

- I have my own dedicated laptop running Windows XP for INPA/EDIABAS/NCS Expert
- Installed INPA/EDIABAS per instructions from:

http://bmwcoders.com/forum/bmw-gt1-o...-software-328/

- My cable is this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200708214373?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1497.l2649

- I put OBD.ini in C:/Windows already.
- The program knows to look for COM1 for the cable, and cable is COM1. I also tried this with COM3 settings. No change.

I'm thinking its a latency issue. I cannot adjust my latency. I'm sure its default at 16ms and I need it at 1ms. Unlike many others, when I go under Device Manager --> Ports --> COM1 Properties --> Port Settings --> Advanced, I have only the option of turning on FIFO buffers, changing the COM port number, and adjusting receive buffer and transmit buffer (both of which I set at 1, then tried it set at 8).

Does anyone know how I can adjust latency when it doesn't show up in the Advanced Settings for COM1 menu?

Does anyone know a different root of my issue?

I'm going to reinstall the entire software suite today so I can go from a top-down approach.

I had to set the com port on the cable the same as the com port on the computer and it worked
