Trouble's with tuneboy

[Silver Surfer 06]

I for what ever reason cant get my ECU serial number to send to NewBonneville for the edit codes. I followed the "Load first tune" part of the Tuneboy tutorial but no good has happened yet. Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm running Windows XP on this laptop. Could this be the problem? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip Reg. If the weather holds I'll give her another shot (no garage). The anticipation is tying my guts in knots :twisted: .

perhaps if your still having trouble take screen shots of your device drivers and tuneboy program and post them here, then we can atleast see whether the drivers are loading properly etc.

Thats a great tip. (But if you are all the way down at my level let me translate as I only learn't how to do this a few weeks ago.)
Do you remember in DOS when you hit "print screen" and everything on the screen would show up on the printer, but just the screen, not the whole page? And have you noticed that anymore when you hit "Print Screen" nothing happens? Guess What! When you hit "Print Screen" the image is captured on something called, 'clipboard' and is waiting for you to paste it somewhere else. You will have to open another program like "Word" or 'Notepad' and then click 'paste'. That will capture the image you are staring at on your laptop.
I will leave it to someone else to suggest the easiest way to move the image to the R3OWNERS.com forum.

you may want to unplug your mouse and use the red dot, i have to do that before it will recognize my tune boy cable.. not sure why.
