I think the title says it all, upgraded my moms laptop (only one I have access to) to windows 7 via wipe and install fresh.

Now all I ever see from the pos is it failed to open device... I installed drivers, I plugged it in every which way and set the com port to 7 (particular usb port). I need help, I'm severely frustrated with this $400 paper weight, I need to datalog.

 

google and research xp mode

 

hell here it is

I tried running compatibility mode, XP sp2 and it wouldnt even bring livelink up then. is this different than what your pointing at?

 

I had a similar issue with my X3 and XP..but after I updated the livelink S/W it worked. I'd give SCT a call..they may not have invested the time/$ to make the X2 work with Win7.

I'll be honest, I'll throw a complete tizzy if they tell me they expect me to throw another couple hundred at tuners lol.

I tried v3 and 4.3, 4.3 says it works with XC2 and vista (most vista works on 7, most). I sent an e-mail. will see if they get to me tomorrow.

 

"XP Mode" is not the same as compatibility mode.

 

Roger, thanks I'll try XP mode after I try turning UAC off on windoze 7. Apparently SCT says it can cause problems, but I did not see a disclaimer right away, so maybe. just maybe.

 

Appears User Account Controls was giving me the grief, dropped it off and it allowed me to work with the XC2, Much happier now! thanks guys

 

5.1 works with vista and the Xcal2, do not load version 6.1 it does not support the Xcal2
