I know nothing of the NiTek, but:
1. is the PDC turned on?
2. Like many others, do you neet to put it in "PC" mode to talk to the computer?

You have to ensure that you are using the correct comport. Try using different USB ports. Also, the built in help file is actually helpful in this case.

Tried using the help file and it just says Loading Help Files... and never loads... Also when i do PC mode i see that the unit gets seem as COM3, i go to Dive -> USB Settings -> Scan Ports -> Click on COM3 and select then it says "Workbench paired with NiTek USB cable" but still i cant update the firmware, cant check my current features...

Hmmm. Sounds like you are doing it right. I wish I had my laptop with me so I could plug in and walk through it with you.
I know my help files took forever to load.

I copied this from the Dive Rite site:
To use WB 3.0.2 on a PC, it needs to have Windows 7 or newer and you need to have administrator rights. Everyone believes they have administrator rights to their PC, but sometimes the wrong check box or another program can change it. One user that was having issues with installation and communications to load the program used this link How to Log on as Administrator in Windows 7? to log on as administrator, and it worked for him.
I was not able to get anything to work when trying to load Workbench. Then I set up another user on my laptop, as described in above link. This user "administrator" when used I was able to get Workbench to finally load and work. Still have had a few issues but at least now I can log in the Workbench.
