   can't get OBDII reader to work

   Foxwell NT301  OBDII code reader   
      
   Worked fine a year ago.   
      
   In my trunk for a year, but car is white so it doesn't get that hot,   
   doesn't get that cold because it's Maryland.   
      
   Now, no matter what button I push I get the One-Click I/M ReadinessKey   
   report.   
      
   I'd like to get DTCs, trouble codes!   
      
   Apparently a CD came with it, but I can't find that, so maybe I can DL   
   the software from Foxwell.  Can't find it, can only find update   
   software.   
      
   OKay, that's good enough.   
      
   I download the NTWonder update file, but it's named   
    NT+Wonder+Installer_NT301_V5.20_20171107.pdf   
      
   It's labeled a PDF file, but it it won't display as a pdf file, or at   
   all, in either of two pdf readers.   
      
   So I rename it to be an .exe file.   Then it won't run "on this   
   computer", windows 10.   
      
   Before I write to them, I wanted to see if you guys know what I am, or   
   they are, doing wrong. ???   
      
      
   Foxwell seems to be a respected company, and this device has a 4.5   
   rating out of 5 on over 12,000 ratings.   
      
   OTOH, one guy who gave it 1 star says "Tech support on the   
   manufacturer's website is a joke at best with broken links or updates."   
   That's what I've got, a broken update, and I also came across this page   
   https://www.foxwelltech.us/page-view.html that says   
      
   DEAR CUSTOMER   
     Thank you very much for visiting our website. Please note that we have   
   two websites, but you have no access to both websites with your   
   account** due to technical reasons.   
     You have to register** on one of the two websites according to the   
   actual situation. Should you have any issues, please feel free to   
   contact us Support@foxwelltech.com   
      
   **But there is no way to register or log in!!  Sound like some madman   
   fiddles with their website in the middle of the night.
