    Yep, sounds like a bad/corrupted install. Remove whatever EFILive software you have on it, download 7.5.3 EFILive 7.5.3 (latest version) and install this.

    Dell Laptops sometimes have a problem with the USB ports. If your using a USB port on the side try one in the rear.

    hey guy's, I have not been on this thread as me and Joecar took it to Pm's. i seem to have it worked out now, I was trying to copy on to a disk and open it in my other laptop but since then used a usb memory stick and it worked great. That and then haveing to register my efi live into the new laptop. I since installed the 7.5.3 and got it working as well. I came back to my boat (job) for a week this morning and wont be home untill next Tuesday to hook it to my Avalanch to see if it is truely fixxed but all systems seem to be a go.

    I love tuning with the efi live but the computer side of it is a pain in my arse.

    THere is a lot of stuff on here that I read about and would like to try but when I see that I have to go into the program and change pids and such, I cringe up and dont try it. I am not experienced at working with excel spread sheats and such so that is another problem. I will just keep asking questions when I have them and if you all can keep helping me out, This will be apreciated.

    Update firmware: Start->All Programs->EFILive V7.5->Update FlashScan V2 Firmware. Plug in V2 while holding the CTRL button to enter dead-poll mode. Then click status to make sure its ready to upgrade. Click Browse and it should be in C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\, look for the file "FSProg_V2_4_70.ffw". Select the file, then click Program. That should do it, unless you're using the new beta firmware in which case this doesnt apply. Then I dont know...
