    Right click and make sure you have it set to run as an administrator and run it in either XP or Windows 7 compatibility mode.

    you need to install .net framework 1.1. then the com ports matched from the pc to the tuner. and match the usb speed and tuners speed.

    this thread i posted some of the com port stuff and speed settings. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...-for-DHP/page2

    im running win 7. i dont have to run as a adman or nothing.

    ive got a key span usb adapter, not sure how your hooking up. but either way you need to know what com port the usb is using. then tell dhp the same port #.

    I set the speed and com port the same as the one I used in the DHP. I did install the .net stuff. I tried running as admin. Also fixed the driver issue thst is an apparent problem eith windows 8. I think it may be windows 8 being a huge POS.

    you try running it in win 7 or xp compatibility mode?

    i pulled my hair out for 3 weeks getting mine set up. in person i can do it in like 30 minutes now. that includes the down load time. registering the cable when your do it right, that scroll bar that fails over and over, you never see it when it goes through.

    Looks like it came off of a mac book or something. even when I just plug the tuner in without it being plugged into the laptop there is a flashing redlight. I cant find anything in the manual about that the guy I bought it from said it shouldnt flash

    oh, and leave the charger on while you do the set up deal. and when you read and flash.

    its not a problem to do that. its also ok to have the laptop plugged in to a wall socket. its what i do when im working through my car. i got a piss poor battery right now.

    its not ok to power your laptop from a power inverter from the cars power port. thats a huge no no.
