anyone running tweecer Rt and windows vista? im having technical difficulties with this on my new laptop and the tweecer rt. the programs are not correctly installing. if anyone is running the caledit and calcon with vista what did you have to do to correctly install the program? i bought the tweecer used with a burnt disc with the programs on it. ive installed and uninstalled both on the disc and downloaded from the tweecer website with no luck. any suggestions.

bear with me, im not computer literate completely. what is UAC and how do i find out if my vista is 32 or 64 bit. when i try to run calcon or cal edit, a pop up comes up saying " unable to locate component" this application has failed to start because ftd2xx.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

A tip or two for you

Hold down windows key and tap the pause/break key
You ought to be able to see if you got 32 or 64 bit

To kill UAC ... and with Vista ... That is a good thing to do :Word:

Control Panel ... Select Classic View ... Select User Accounts ...
Select Turn UAC on Or Off ... Uncheck Use UAC ... Reboot PC

Lemme know where to send the bill
for 1.00 hour of Desktop Support Labor

Just Kidding

btw ... seems like I saw peeps talking about using Vista on the site
at eectuning.org

Good Luck

Good to see that stuff I put up years ago is still helping others

I got so much help from the self tuning community
I just had to make some kind of effort to pay it back :Word:

I don't really have much knowledge about using different OS's with
the Tweecer

I'm not exactly on the cuttintg edge with my tuning laptop

An old Toshiba running Win 98se

hey ... It works and if it gets hosed with all the moving around

I'll just dig up another cheepie alternative

someone gave me a link on eectuning.org and I downloaded the tweecerrt link. however when i plugged the laptop to the car it wont communicate for some reason. what do i have to do to get the tweecer to communicate to the car? this is getting annoying as i bought the laptop to work with the tweecer and its being a pita.

Are you getting any kind of error messages when you launch the programs? If so, post them up. I was when I first tried to use my new laptop with Vista. I did a google search and found a correction for the error message. Are you running a serial cable, or a USB to serial converter cable?

If it happens to be something like this.........

PDOXUSRS file can't be found, written or whatever....

Software guru I isn't, but it's Vista security blocking the writing of a file. The borland software is a common database used by business software. You can google up the step by step instructions on how to allow the file to be written. Hopefully it is that, because it's simple to correct. Type the exact error message in the search box.

Calcon still is not connecting. the green light at the bottom where the tweecer RT sign is lit up but nothing is transfering. what am i not doing. when i do load calcon up i get a message saying invalid variant type conversion
