Hi Bob,
If your customers cannot read/flash their controllers without using the alt keys or assume lock is faulty options, then you should be telling your customers to use the unlock option to set up a standard GM seed/key in their controller. That way in future they won't need to select that option.
As for the factory default settings for those settings, t takes 10 seconds per failed key to unlock an ECM. Trying the alternate keys can slow down the process by as much as 30-50 seconds for stock controllers. The alt keys and "assume lock is faulty" are for the very small number of ECMs that have had their locking systems messed up somehow. The vast majority of controllers can be unlocked without using those options.
I might be missing something on the "use high speed" option, but are you saying that your customers cannot read/flash their controller unless the "use high speed" option is off? In that case it is most likely a rogue module that is not switching to high speed. In that case pulling the module's fuse would help. Using low speed mode is 4 times slower, so I guess its a trade off between how long it takes to pull/replace a fuse compared to how much longer it takes to read/flash in low speed mode.

How do we manually check for software updates now? I found the tab in the V7 tune tool to check for updates with it and found there was an update for it above the first public release I downloaded, but I can't find a way to do it with the V8. I used to go under start, EFILIVE, and then select the check for updates under teh tools tab, but I see that option is no longer available.

As has been discussed in previous thread, we changed software installers on this new version. If you have older software then you must manually uninstall that software first.
Once the software versions from this thread are installed you can check for updates by doing the following:
V7
Go to 'Help' then click the 'check for updates' option.
V8
On the main page, the big Icon that says "Install Updates" (probably should say Check rather than install).
And yes, there has been an update already, so feel free to give it a go.
Cheers,

The main web page links also have the latest versions as well.

Just updated to the latest public v7.5 and v8 software release, and checked for updates. Firmware: 2.07.26 (Mar 28, 2012). Bootblock: 2.07.04 (Dec 12, 2011). Config files: cummins cm849 (apr 16 2012), options (apr 16 2012). Getting a $502 error (something about script files) when trying to flash using just the v2. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I recommend doing this:
1. Start the V8 Scan and Tune software.
2. Open the BBX settings window.
3. Click on read to read your V2's current configuration.
4. Select "Format CONFIG File System" from the [Program] button's drop down menu.
5. Click on the [Program] button to program all required files.
If that still does not work, use the "Program all Required Data (slower)" option on the drop down menu. Sometimes, within 24 hours of an update (due to crossing the international date line) the date/time stamps on the config files can confuse the algorithm that decides if a file is older or newer than what's on the device. Using the "all" option overrides that algorithm and copies all files.
