I believe your problem is drivers are needed for your pc for it to function. Off hand I don't know which ones but a search on this forum should give you an idea.

Whoo hoo I fixed it ! I read on here somewhere that turning off the virus protection allowed the computer , and the T-max to link , so I tried it . BINGO ! Worked like a charm. Off to ride
