hog 2 pc not working with hog 3 widget

I couldn't get the hog 2 pc to communicate with the hog 3 widget, no lights on the widget would even come on. I then tried to install hog 3 on the laptop but that wouldn't work either. It's not my machine and I couldn't access install new hardware due to admin restrictions so I couldn't install the loopback adapter. Is there anything I need to due to make hog 2 work with the widget? Any tricks to get hog 3 working without the loopback adapter?
Thanx.....
