install on windows 8

[Phil'sC5Vette]

I tried my first vehicle download Thursday with window's 8. It stopped downloading at the validation. I gave it a couple extra minutes, and it didn't go any further.

To make it worst, I couldn't close the download box or the window. I unplugged my computer from the interface and still couldn't close the download box. I closed the top of the laptop, and I pulled out my laptop with windows7 and had no problem downloading the tuning the rest of the vehicles.

The next day, I opened the top of my windows8 laptop, and the unable to load the calibration was still up, and I still couldn't close the box. I couldn't do a print screen to save it. I had to do a hard reboot and reset the computer.

Weird, anyone else run into the above?

Maybe its my computer.

I went to office depot and max'd out the RAM for my new laptop.

Then I retuned my Corvette and my wife's van with out an issue with the laptop.

I think it was my computer being slow. I ran the scanner, uploaded and dowloaded tunes, and no issue this time.

What really suck with window's 8 is no instructions of how to find or work programs.

I am running win8 and it works fine, make sure you have 2.238 or higher for it to work.
Most things are going to run on 8 so you should keep the 8.

Damn computer did it again. I tuned a 2000 in the morning and everything went fine. Went to tune a 2011 Camaro, and it locked up again stopping at the end at the validation. Recently, I added more memory to the computer, and still did it. Ill have to look at my records, and it looks like it first locked up on a 2004 corvette, then I added memory, and tuned my wifes Van again untill today.

I tuned my C5, another C5, my wife's 2006 Uplander with no issue.

Just an update, Yesterday I tuned a 1999 C5, 2004 CTS-v, and a 2010 Camaro with the latest version of BETA. With the exception of the normal CTS-v taking forever to download because of their navigation system, all the downloading and uploading went smooth throughout the day.

I used my Toshiba Satellite L875-S7110 with windows 8 all day without issue.

My new computer with windows 8 will not recognize my application key. Ive downloaded the newest version and it still won't recognize the key. I sent an email to support and will update my post In case anyone else runs into the same issue.
