    I found the reason why it's not working. If I download from your site it has the correct files but when I run the update program they get written over with an older version....So, your update is screwing it up!

    I said you need to uninstall it

    Uninstall tune and scan tool reboot than reinstall both and than update from start, all programs look for EFI click you will see tune click update. Do the same with scan. When done update firmware

    I appreciate your help, and as I indicated earlier I did indeed uninstall it. I've been IT for 30 years!

    Also, like I said, it's their update that writes the wrong version files over the correct files.

    Did you install builds 180/170 manually (double click on the V7/V8 .exe files)...?

    Did you follow these steps:

    - goto thew Firmware tab,
    - update the bootblock to 2.07.03,
    - update the firmware to 2.07.22,
    - exit from EE.

    then using V8 Scan & Tune do this:
    - goto the BBx tab,
    - click Read,
    - click Save (and if asked specify filename Options.txt),
    - click the down arrow on the Program button and select Format Config File System,
    - click the down arrow on the Program button and select Program All Required Data (Slower),
    - exit from the tab and exit from S&T.

    Also, using V8 Scan & Tune, do the same on the Devices tab (filename is Settings.dat).

    I did the firmware through hapi and it is current. I just tried the 2nd half of your instructions and still getting script error.
