When I have the scan tool open on dashboard and right click and click on CHART PROPERTIES it locks everything up.I have to ctrl+alt+del and end task.I have upgraded to the newest version and it still does it..........................Paul

Paul,

When this happens:
- did you have no pids selected...?
- were you connected to vehicle...?
- was tunetool and/or EFILive Explorer open...?

I pm'd Tech Support.

When you right click on other charts, and/or other gauges does it still lock up? Or does it only lock up when right clicking on a particular chart?

The charts page has four charts on it. Does it only lock up when you right click on a particular chart? Or does it lock up on all four charts?

When I right click,When I have dashboard(F10) open and it has CHART PROPERTIES,Under that RESIZE to DASHBOARD,Under that ADD,under that CHANGE CHART TO,Then REMOVE CHART,Then DASH SETTINGS.Then when I click on CHART PROPERTIES it locks up,Everything else works normal before I do that though.I must have did something to mess it up..................Paulhttp://i35.tinypic.com/10nsv9t.jpg

Each of the four charts have their own "right click" menu. The menus look the same but will open up different settings based on the underlying chart.
See image and try right clicking on each of the charts in the positions indicated by the red lines. Does it fail/hang when you do that for all four charts?

You can try restoring the original dashboards by selecting the menu option:
Dashboards->Recall Installation defaults->...

However, that will delete/overwrite any changes you may have made to the default dashboards.
