Make sure the EFILive_Hapi.exe file exists in the \Program Files\EFILive\V8 folder.

Make sure EFILive_HAPI is installed and can be run without any permissions problems. It is normally started automatically whenever any EFILive software attempts to communicate with FlashSCan or AutoCal.

There should be a start menu entry that allows you to run EFILive HAPI in standalone mode: Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->EFILive HAPI, try running it from there. It should start up and place itself on the system tray at the end of the Windows Task Bar.

If it does not start or it starts and then terminates, it is most likely a Vista permissions problem. Try re-installing the V8 software.
