I cant open any file that I download that are .bin or .hpt

why??? please help!

what version are you using? Did this just start to happen?

**DooSPX** · 06-19-2006

I used to be able to open them, but I ahvent tried for a while, and I went to try a few days ago, and it gave me the error.
I am using 1.6.0

**Bill@HPTuners** · 06-19-2006

you wont be able to open hpt files with 1.6...login to your customer login page & download & install 2.1.10 its a free update.

**S2H** · 06-19-2006

man..1.6 ????? you are back in the stone ages there..LOL

**DooSPX** · 06-19-2006

Yeah I know...

so the same goes for .bin files as well?

**Bill@HPTuners** · 06-19-2006

bin's you "should" be able to open with the exception of a few...post the bins you were trying to view & get your butt updated to 2.1 in the meantime mang.

**DooSPX** · 06-19-2006

ha, just updated to the new one!

they same to be opening now.

one question though? is the flash updated with the scanner and editor?
my flash is still saying 1.6 while the others say 2.1

**Bill@HPTuners** · 06-19-2006

the editor is now both the editor & flasher...you shouldve uninstalled 1.6 before installing 2.1

**DooSPX** · 06-19-2006

what do you use, write cal., write entire, etc.???

**DooSPX** · 06-20-2006

okay, got it all...
but is there a reason the read vcm takes FOREVER????

its ALOT slower than the old 1.6

**Bill@HPTuners** · 06-20-2006

what are your laptop specs? always takes me 1m45s-2m0s to read.

**DooSPX** · 06-21-2006

its not the laptop, the specs are 2.8Ghz AMD 64bit, 1GB memory, 80GB HDD

when it gets to reading entire VCM, its SLOOOWW

**Bill@HPTuners** · 06-21-2006

is it going into slow speed mode? are you using a serial to usb connector?

**DooSPX** · 06-21-2006

yes, i am using a serial to usb adapter...
eventually i want the new cable that doesnt have to have the laptop in the car/truck to log

one thing to keep in mind w/files from the repository... while they all end in .bin when extracted... they are a mix of .bin and .hpt.

When I wrote the page I didn't spend much time on the fileupload page... so all it does it take the file you want to upload, generates a random number w/a unique seed, and then calls the file that.bin (123453343.bin) , this 123453343 number is the unique key in the database and the page assumes it ends in a .bin

Then when you download the file you go from my horist.com box (hosted here in my house) to my high speed box (transamws6.net) which is a hosted server

**S2H** · 06-21-2006

wow...now I know exactly how your networks works...

you might need to write some code to make it say .hpt on the ones that are .hpt...

are you doing manual approval or is it getting auto approved?

**horist** · 06-22-2006

^^^ manual approval ... it's a PITA right now , but I'll likely be rewriting it in the coming weeks (learning C#, so this would be a good excersize)

the .hpt or .bin doesn't really matter though (as far as the software is concerned)..... since file extensions haven't really mattered since the windows 3.11 days lol

**S2H** · 06-22-2006

its not that it matters to the software as much..but guys with pre 2.0 are gonna want to know which ones are bins and which ones are .hpt
