    Default Scan doesn't work after upgrade

    I recently upgraded to 7.5 along with the commercial license so I could take advantage of custom os features. Now my flashscan will not work, it loads but will not connect to pcm and locks up when I click on connect. Any one have a suggestion. Thanks.

    Can you go through the checklist on this page to make sure your V1's USB settings have not been lost.

    I checked the usb settings and they match except the V1.12 is V1.21 which is probably just an update?

    It asks for information on vehicle type and operating system when trying to scan. Is that correct? My old version did not do that.

    No, that's my typing mistake on the web page, I'll fix it.

    That is correct, EFILive just needs to know the first two digits of the VIN. So just enter 1Gxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and it will be happy (you can leave OS blank). As soon as you connect to your vehicle the software will update the VIN and OS with the correct VIN and OS from the vehicle.

    It won't ask you again unless you reset/clear the EFILive registry settings. I guess you selected to delete the registry settings when you updated the V7 software. There's no harm in doing that, just that the software reverts back to the installation defaults such as not knowing the most recently used VIN.

    Regards
