I'm about to lose it. I have been trying to get this to work for days now and it just won't. I bought a clone Tech 2 off of AliExpress, and for the most part it seems to work great. I can read and clear codes and store vin data. It also communicates with my PC but when it comes to security access it just won't work no matter what I do. I'm using a Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate VM with GlobalTis installed on it (downloaded from this forum). I have Java 6 update 12 installed on the VM. From what I can tell, I've done everything properly. Every time I go to download security access the bar gets about three quarters of the way through and then errors out simply just saying "Error Occurred!". Meanwhile the Tech 2 just gets stuck on the "reading information from rs232" screen. I'd like to also note I'm using the Tripplite USB to Serial adapter everyone says to use. I have the correct com port selected under the settings menu. The only slightly weird thing happening with my GlobalTis is that it gives me a message on boot up with the code E4252 saying that there are plugins missing. When I try and click on the java web start link it provides, it just says that the file cannot be found. I've downloaded the VIN data off of my car ('07 9-3 Aero SC) and it's stored in the Tech 2. If anyone has any idea of what my problem might be or how I could fix this, please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
GlobalTis "Error Occurred!" when trying to get security access

Yes I have, both the name and value are set to the jre\bin folder.
Another thing, my Tech 2 says it is running on version 148.000 while GlobalTis loads with 146.000. Would this be the source of the problem? Or do the versions have nothing to do with each other.
Can you post your full.path statement?
If the Java app doesn't run then none of the other stuff matters
C:\Program Files\GlobalTis\jre\bin
No problem, I appreciate you trying to help. Ill either try tis2000 or re do everything on an XP vm I guess...
Just re did everything on XP and it's still not working. The Tech 2 is on version 148.000 while GlobalTIS is on version 146.000. The car is MY2007.
All the pins look to be fine on mine.
I've changed pretty much every cable out on this thing and the same result still happens. The tech 2 literally shows that it's going into download mode, and then just gets stuck on that screen. So I'm just going to assume the one I bought is a dud. Extremely infuriating.
While I'm here I'll also ask this. Since my buddy has a 2011 9-3, can I only get security access on his car if I pay for an Orio tis2web subscription?
Did your Tech 2 come with a serial test cable (it's an Ethernet with a cable in a loop)? You can use that to test the Tech 2 serial cable.
To do this, insert the test adapter and:
If that passes, it's likely the Windows client VM or hypervisor. What hypervisor are you running?
To do this, insert the test adapter and:
- F2, Tool Options
- F0, Tech 2 self test
- F3, selectable main PCB
- F2, RS-232 loopback
If that passes, it's likely the Windows client VM or hypervisor. What hypervisor are you running?

It depends what version you have.
TIS2 at ORIO website works 100%.

Only few USB/serial adapters work with TIS.
I use cable like this: GM Tech 2 Usb Serial Programing Cable Rs232 Adapter 1.8m rj45 connector bosch | eBay
Sorry for the late response. I have been using OracleVM. Also, It doesn't look like my tech 2 came with the tester cable.
Okay thanks for the info. I'll purchase this connector and let you know how it goes.
