have not updated my controller in a long time. whats needed?

[joecar]

the tune I read from my Trans am early today is saved as a .ctz file, all the others seem to still be .tun

It wont open and read that trans am file either.

Are you opening the .ctz file with the V7 tunetool...?

[Aint Skeered]

I try to edit the file in v7 and it gives me the original error code I first listed .

[Aint Skeered]

No, sorry, my mistyping...


it should be: My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration


in Edit->Properties->Folders set the User Configuration pathname to this.

I found user configuration. where do i go and how do I do Edit->properties->folders and how do I set the path name to this? i am truly sorry that I dont know my way around programs.

I regret trying to update it.

In the V7 scantool go Edit->Properties->Folders, you will see a list of all the folders and their locations...

post a screenshot of this;

highlight User Configuration and click the Browse button, locate the folder My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration, click Ok.

If you installed V7 build 211 using the default settings, then everything should work...!?!?

When I open scan tool
Or tune tool, error comes up. When I close the error , it closes the scan or tune tool also.

I
Can not get them to stay open

im pretty sure I did with all default settings. should i re load them and do it over?

[Aint Skeered]

I think I got it figured out. I reloaded my 211 and it did have a question I answered yes to about keeping current locations the first time . This time I answered no and it used default settings and now it works.

I'm still not seeing any old tunes but that's ok if I can still pull a tune from each vehicle and start with that.

I will see if I can flash a tune in my Trans am and also flash with just the hand held in v8

Re-install V7.5 and when you are asked to "keep the registry settings", select the option [No] so that the registry settings are reset to factory defaults.
That will allow you to actually run the V7.54 Scan and/or Tune software without the software reporting errors and closing immediately.

Looking at the error trace, your data files may be hidden away in the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Bins
You may need to copy them manually back to the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Chad Leeper\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Bins

That was the right thing to do. See my previous post about where your data files might be.
