Diagnostic Scanner tool wiped out my Mini

I just purchased a K+DCAN to OBDII diagnostic scan tool on Amazon to try to figure out why I have a Yellow brake light on my car. It is a software based tool which needs to be installed on a laptop. I installed the software on my computer per their instructions and then hooked up to my car. The software popped up an initialization error every time I tried to toggle through the software. Now my car is dead. I put the key in an push the button and I get a couple clicks and the dash lights go out.
How can I get my car back to normal. The window is also down and I cant get that to roll up.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

I know your pain. Your heart is pounding.. what have I done?!

Don't worry you will get it working again, even if you have to pay a little money to a garage with the right tool.
