After 3 weeks of pure Hell trying to get my laptop to link up with my T/max I finally got it to work . The problem , Vista from HELL! Tried everything , drove the tech guys at Zippers crazy , replaced the cables at a paltry $80.00 , that was a waste . Finally drug the old home PC loaded with XP out into the garage , desperation move , plugged it in and guess what , it worked . Damn thing linked up automatically , its a miracle!!! Anyway I spoke to few other folks and they had the same problem with VISTA from HELL!! Wish I would have known . Thanks for letting me vent...

 

I got mine to work with vista. Had to do a yahoo search on how to get it to work. No problems now.

 

yeah dad and i had the same prob. he ended up digging an old comp. out of the basement

that wasnt vista. got it to work that way.

 

I got an referbished laptop with XP installed from Tiger Direct last year. Its my tuning computer.

 

I had to use an xp machine as well. Wouldn't work with my vista laptop.

 

Just scrub Vista and reinstall with XP. Simple as that!! Unless your really hung up on the Vista bling and fancy display stuff (pretty useless anyway), XP blows it away....

99enbrey, might want to share what you did. Many with Vista may not want to do what I recommend...

 

Man... I wished I was reading this thread before last night. got a new computer with "Vista" road the bike 70 degree day the bike got really hot. so I thought I would do some tuning. Yeah right, as mentioned THE VISTA demon was hard at work on me. It's a good thing I am like a pack rat and saved the old laptop with the program already loaded. Now that's my tuning "puter".

 

Myself I use a clapped out old Dell with serial bus. Use my desktop to play with the software or practice edits . Some issues with Vista can be resolved by deleting your administrator account. Funny thing is, I just had to have Vista a couple of years back. Added seperate drive for it, and xp pro on the other drive. Never use Vista for anything. So much for the latest and greatest.
