You can (and should) install V8.1 even though you already have V7.5 installed. Right now, V8.1 does not replace anything in V7.5, it just adds extra functionality. You should also upgrade your FlashScan V2 boot block and firmware to V2.5.xx.
V8.1 (and the new V2 firmware) adds standalone black box logging functionality to your V2. As well as allowing you to change the initial splash screen.
After installing V8.1, and before upgrading the boot block and firmware on your V2, make sure you read the document Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8.1->Documents->Upgrading FlashScan. It contains important instructions on how to upgrade your V2 correctly.
The latest V7.5.4 and V8.1.1 installation packages are available here:

First you need to create the image and place it in the "Spash Screens" sub folder of the V8 folder. Yours should be similar to this:
C:\Program Files\EFILive\V8\Splash Screens
I just took one the the defaults and modified to suit me then changed the name. Then using the EFI Live Explorer program you can navigate to the Splash Screen folder and install it to your V2.

I tried but it didn't happen it gives $005 and the following(through tracing the error):
Copy ".\splash.ebm" to "\EFILive\V7\Config\"
Set FlashScan File System to "Config"
File date time is: "20081027 22:47:02"
Opened Windows File: ".\splash.ebm"
File size is: 1024 bytes
Failed to created destination file "\EFILive\V7\Config\splash.ebm". Error: Error: $0005
Closed Windows file

Error numbers can be looked up here:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8\Documents\EFILiveV8_Errors.txt
(Eventually, the error text will be displayed not just the numbers)
However, error $0005 is listed as: $0005 USB insufficient resources which is not what I would expect.
It is far more likely to be $0185 F_ERR_NOTFOUND, (File system error: 5). The "not found" part refers to the folder:\EFILive\V7\Config which is created when you format the Config file system.
There was a bug in an earlier firmware version that did not add the $0180 to the file system errors and so the file system errors all got reported incorrectly.
Make sure you have formatted the Config file system using EFILive Explorer before attempting to copy a splash image file to FlashScan.
Also, please make sure you are using the latest boot block (V2.06.02) and firmware (V2.06.04 or above). You can get the latest firmwware as part of the V8.1.2 download/installation from our downloads web page.

I have the latest boot block (V2.06.02) and firmware (V2.06.04 or above). If I format the confg, will I lose any thing.

Yes, you will lose these files from flash:
*.pmm
Options.txt
Settings.dat
You will have to recopy/restore those files.
how to restore them?

If EFILive Explorer can read the list of files in the [Config] tab page, then you don't need to reformat it. It is ok and the $0005 error must be something else.
If you have the V2.06.xx firmware then the error number should be accurate. However, I do not know why you would get a $0005 USB insufficient resources error when trying to copy the *.ebm file to FlashScan.If you click properties on the [Config] tab page in Explorer, how mush free space do you have?
