   com.ecmtuning.ecmlink.level = FINE   com.ecmtuning.ecmlink.level = FINE
  
-Change that FINE to FINEST and you'​ll ​get LOT more debug data.+If you are running Windows Vista, ​you'​ll ​need to be running as administrator to be able to edit the logging.properties file. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Basic device data ==== 
 + 
 +Now there are couple choices to make.  If you want a reasonably manageable log file and you're just having basic communication problems, then just add the following line to the end of that file. 
 + 
 +  com.ecmtuning.ecmlink.device.ecmlink.level = FINER 
 + 
 +You can change that FINER to FINEST if you want to log more debugging data related specifically to the ECMLink connection process. ​ But be forewarned that this file will be *megabytes* in size and can cause the application to slow down substantially. ​ I would not recommend attempting to datalog while logging is set to FINEST. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Full-blown ​debug data ==== 
 + 
 +If you want to turn on full-blown debugging to get all SORTS of information about application initialization,​ configuration files, communication bytes, etc., etc, then change the existing line in the logging.properties file to read: 
 + 
 +  com.ecmtuning.ecmlink.level = FINEST 
 + 
 +But be forewarned that this file will be *megabytes* in size and can cause the application to slow down substantially. ​ I would not recommend attempting to datalog while logging is set to FINEST.

-The debug file can be located in the following directory:+Under Windows, you can find the applog.txt file here: 
 + 
 +  %userprofile%\ecmlink\applog.txt 
 + 
 +You can actually just type that directly into a file browser (like while you're trying to attach to an e-mail or forum post) and Windows will automatically load it up. 
 + 
 +The specific location when running under Windows XP is: 
 + 
 +  C:\Documents and Settings\<​username>​\ecmlink\applog.txt
  
-  C:\Documents and Settings\<​username>​\ecmlink+When running under Windows Vista/7, the debug file can be located in the following directory:
  
-The filename will be applog.txt.+  C:​\Users\<​username>​\ecmlink\applog.txt
