I'm trying to do the procedure on the page "Upgrading FlashScan & AutoCal Bootblock and Firmware Versions" but not having any luck. I'm a complete noob at this, so bear with me, please.

I've gotten to step 4 where I'm supposed to be seeing an image of my FlashScan V2 in the FlashScan and AutoCal Device Settings screen in the bottom right corner, but I see no such thing. All I see are a row of icons representing Open, Save, Read, Program, and Close. There is an icon of the V2 in the lower right hand corner of my desktop, but when I click on that I get an error message saying "No device connected". Now I can load up v7.5 and see the V2 just fine, showing my my license numbers, but in the Scan and Tune V8, it appears that it does not recognize my V2 at all.

I'm assuming I'm just missing something obvious because this is the first time I have run this procedure. But sure would be nice to have a little "hand holding" to walk me through...

Oh, I'm running Win XP on my laptop, btw.

Check out the document that does the hand holding, it is available from the Windows Start menu:
Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Documents->Upgrading Firmware

Important: If the firmware in V2 is V2.04.71 or earlier, you must update to V2.04.72 before attempting any other firmware updates.

The smart-alec in me wants to say its caused by a "handle that is not valid" but maybe that's just my warped sense of humor.

Can you please let me know what software (V7.5 scan or V7.5 tune or V8 scan&tune or v8 explorer) you were running when it happened.
Also at what stage in the software did it happen, i.e. just starting up, after you selected a menu item or clicked a button (which one etc), or when you were closing the software or closing just a window etc.

It started with the last release and continues with this (6/3/11) release, only on V7.5 when
closing the program it never interferes with operation of the program but one pops up for
every window (table) you had open.

Thanx

This is a long shot, but just in case the installer did not overwrite the older files for some reason, please check the date/time and version of these three files:
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\EFILive_Tune.exe
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\EFILive_Scan.exe
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\obdiiV7.dll
(On Windows 64-Bit the folder name will be \Program Files (x86)\...)

Their dates should all be June 03, 2011.

Right click on each one separately and select Properties and check the version numbers.
The version numbers for each one should be 7.5.7.164

Paul

All current.

Do the "invalid handle" errors occur every time you close the software?
Or does it only happen sometimes?

Well it was but not now, of course it won't do it on cue

If it does happen again and if you remember the sequence of events that preceded it, please let me know.
If I can make the same thing happen here by performing the same steps as you, then there's a very good chance we can catch it and fix it.

Regards
Paul

I get this too, but it is random and seems only to be on the 7.5 tune software.
