VAG-tool problems, dying battery

[Kengineer021.8]

So for the background:
I purchased the VAG-tool from Adam with SPP shown in this link http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201612

I received the tool fired it up and everything was working fine. Did a bunch of the VAG mods such as all doors unlock, fogs on with parking lights, windows up/down, etc. etc.. I also had logged a couple of times just familiarizing myself with the program.

So the other day I'm sitting in my car and I want to run some boost logs. I get the channel up and logging. Then I inadverntly push the little "memo pad" button and the palm leaves the "VAG" screen and goes to the memo pad screen. When I tried to get back into the "VAG" screen I got the error "Serial: port in use (0307)"

Now there is nothing I can do. I can't connect to any of the channels, I can't add a new vehicle... everything I try to do I get the same error. So I was thinking... is it the plam port in use, or the ECU? Well today when I went out to my car I think I got my answer. The battery was almost completely dead, and I barely got it to start.

Now here's my new question... is my car's ECU still thinking that I am trying to acces it? Is there anything I can do, maybe disconnect the battery to reset the ECU? I can't believe that the software would be so sensative that if you accidently push one button the entire system freezes up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I have tried to contact Adam and he has been... well let's just say less than helpful.

yes, do a hard reset of the control modules in the car by unhooking both battery cables and then touch them together for a few seconds to get out any residual electricity in the system, maybe let them sit off for a minute or so then rehook them up, should fix you up if it is problem with the vehicle, if that dosent do it its probably with the palm.

What about the radio code, am I going to need to get that?

when i changed my battery the radio code did not pop up and the cables were unhooked for a little while, and since u have an 02 and so do i, i dont think it should pop up...it might though
