The older versions will not work under XP or Vista.
I cannot remember which version I have (not in USA at the moment so cant check) but it requires a win95 or win98 OS to allow the sentinel crap to install properly. The version I have requires a parallel port for the dongle (hardware key) and a serial port for the cable.
The cable I have has an extra socket at the bike end to supply power to the el cheapo interface convertor built in the serial plug. This is there because some PCs (especially laptops) cannot supply enough power through the serial port to run the level convertor. Worth a check maybe?
Hope it helps
