    Options not available in Editor

    Hi,
    I have read the ecm and tcm, saved the file as my stock tune and on 3 different drives for backup.
    Now, I am beginning to edit parameters in the vcm editor and I do not have the options I have seen in the videos and tutorials people have made.
    For example, when I go to OS, that window is blank, and when I open tables, they are smaller, and I don't have as many of them.
    Maybe it is my car, or am I missing something; I have a 2006 Cadillac cts base 2.8L engine.
    Here are some screenshots:

    Perfectly normal for these ecm's. What you see is what you get in this case.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Thanks for the quick reply. Is this because of HPTuner support for my vehicle, or does my ecm have less functions or peramerters than other cars?

    Just a different ecm, different strategy. Not all ecm's are created equal. We map out what we can find in the code, some are just easier to map out than others.

    I'm having the same problem with the sample 2014 Corvette file, at least on one of my computers. My Toshiba laptop running 4.2.12 shows up blank when I open the OS tab. When I open the same OS tab on version 4.2.12 on my HP home computer I have options (TCS Patch, VATS Patch etc.) When looking to disable VVT on the home HP, no problem. On the Toshiba laptop, many of options are not there on the Engine tab.

    I have copied the sample HPT file from home to laptop, no joy. I have removed and reinstalled the entire Suite on the laptop, still no go.

    Any ideas on what may be going on? BTW, I see the same problem when opening other sample files on both machines. I suspect something in the configuration of the laptop. Both are Windows 10 Home.

    Thanks in advance for any help!
