Losing my virginity

The computer gremlins are torturing me
Any tips on loading the D2XX DRIVERS. My skills in the cyber world leave much to be desired. Using Windows 8

you have to get the driver zip file, which you found from the link on the TuneEcu site, saved in a folder on your hard drive. The file contains drivers for 32 and 64 bit. Once you get to the installation stage, the system will pick the correct driver from the folder you saved and unzipped the drivers from.

Then you have to disconnect from the Internet. When you plug in the cable, I assume Windows 8 will automatically load a driver, probably the wrong one.

I only used Win 8 for a week or so before trading the desktop for a Windows 7 machine. So you have to switch out of the app view to the traditional desk top view. Then you need to figure out how to access the device manager to properly install the drivers. The instructions for doing this are on the TuneECU site. They are very explicit, done by me and Tom Hamburg. You have to update the driver in the com/lpt device and again in the usb controller device because it's a usb cable but it's being accessed by the program through virtual com port.

It's the COM Port Drive that I can't seem to load.

with the device manager open, when you plug the cable in, a line will pop up under com/lpt. you have to right click that line and update the driver manually. tell it to go to the folder where you stored the drivers. the same thing happens under the usb controller. you need to replace whatever driver is in there with the correct one. i've never done this in win 8 so i'm not even sure how you get to the device manager. but I found this.

Thanks Doug, I see the ECM program is available for droid so I am going to try and upload it to my phone and see if it works there.
