Issues with DTC info

[J.Abbott]

First of working on a 06 Corvette. When the scanner is hooked up with laptop and try and scan for DTC, it locks up the program. This is with ignition on and not running. I have tried it with the car running and it cut off and then locked up the program. If I disconnect the laptop then it will give the dtc and clear just fine.
Thanks in advance

Hi Justin,

Which build version of the V7 software do you have...?

[J.Abbott]

the latest as of last week, I believe without looking at my computer it is build 139

Please ensure that you are running all the latest software and equally important that you have updated your FlashScan v2 firmware. Please see these knowledgebase articles for more details on software and firmware updates:

- Firmware

Ok, sometime I am not that great at following directions, but after I hit F6 I have nothing else in these directions on my screen. I do not see anything that says "Device Setting" or anything that might lead me to it. I also don't have a single Icon for scan and tune, they are seperate. Sorry, I hope I am not a bother with this, but I just don't see it.
Thanks
Justin

Justin,

Did you install the V8 software, this has Scan&Tune (S&T) software and EFILive Explorer (EE) software...?

What version of bootblock and firmware are in your V2...?

[J.Abbott]

No, I did not. Is everything worked out with the V8 software now. I thought I remember someone telling me to stick with the 7.5, I have currently running 7.5 build 139.

Install the new V7 and V8 software from here.

V8 includes new V2 bootblock/firmware, use EE to flash it into your V2.

V8 software also includes S&T which allows you to configure Black Box logging and flashing, see here:
