    I flashed with W8 no problem using V8, when opening the V7.5 Tune Tool I only get half of the status bar (loading calibrations bar). I didnt try flashing with V7.5 and Ive only flashed a T43 a few times with W8 and V8.

    Have you tried running the Scan and Tune tools in compatibility mode for W7?

    Yes and No... both ways.. connected or disconnected... it will jump to the just finished without going through the prep steps.

    I'm sure that is the old 'non admin' problem, try running EFILive with admin rights (not sure how you do that on Windows 8), but Win 7 was just right click on the icon and choose Run as Admin.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
