Strange problem with HPTuners & Windows Vista

[RalphPZ06]

So, getting back to the main issue... can we run HPTuners with Windows Vista? I just got a new laptop and that is what it has.

[Bill@HPTuners]

yes you can. Guaranteed XP will work better though...I would wait until the rest of the bugs get worked out in vista.

I'd need 1 spongebob & 1 patrick sticker for 1 hpt sticker to make that a fair trade

DEAL !!!!

Thank-you. I just got a new laptop with Vista but am keeping my old one around so I'll use that for a while.

DH - Naah no Mac envy. I started out with a Commodore Vic20 and wrote my own programs to (get this) cassette tapes... Oh boy, talk about backups...

I do engineery type stuff that Mac's can't/didn't/don't do so MAC/Linux isn't too interesting (pretty but not interesting).

Now if I was a photochop/movie type, MAC all the way... But they make photochop/movie stuff for PC now. Since it's now a MACtel product, who cares what OS as long as my software runs.

I remember trying to learn BASIC on a RadioShack miniature TR something or another.....Long time Ago

BTW: I have some CAD stuff on my MAC by AshlerVellum. And of course AutoCad on my PC partition. I think these days you can run just about any kind of software on either platform.

Really the only difference is the STICKERS

I have had Vista running on my Vista machine (a mac running dual boot) since the 2nd beta of vista.

I am having the same issue.It is really getting aggravating to.I just got a new laptop that came with vista,now I wish that is came with Xp instead.When i open VCM scanner,I click on open config,then when I click computer and program files I do not have permission??WTF Nothing I am doin is lettingme get in and that is where the configs are!??? I just saved them elsewhere and it works great,buit not being able to open program files sucks.lol

Just a thought. Is your logon account set up as an administrator account? If not, you may be running into these "permissions" issues.

Just move the Config files (.cfg) to your user folder. I called mine HPtuner Files. I copy all config files and hst files in the histogram folder and things seem to be working fine.

Thats what I did and works fine now.

Ugh.. This is rediculous. Is this dependent on where you install hptuners in? For instance, if i installed it in C:\Blah\Hp Tuners\VCM Suite.. would it have permission issues navigating to "Blah". It can browse everything else.. This is the first time I've ever encountered this bitch of a problem. I'm going to relocate my files to my user folder anyways. Just am curious as to why this is special to hpt.
