Default Help Please with FreeScan!!

After the install of FreeScan, i try to open it up and this is what pops up "the system can not find file specified"... Did I do something wrong? I uninstalled and redownloaded it and I'm still getting the same thing... After i click 'OK' it goes into the program. Im about to go out side and try it again. The first time i tryed it; didnt pull any codes which my SES light is on, also the only thing in the 'Dash Board' function working was the tach, everything else was not working... Anyone have any of these problems : (... Please help...

Did you select the type of car you have?

Did you turn on the key to ON for 5 seconds, and did the program receive any bites from the PCM?

You should visit Solomon's site, he has a little write up on how to do it. Search google for lt1 pcm tuning, you should find it in the free tips section.

Wow 58 codes, yeah, you definitely need tuning LOL! With Freescan make sure you select your vehicle, I had the same problem when I first tried it.

58 codes... that's practically every single code in the book. I don't think that's possible.

TTS is so much easier to use, and reads a lot of info real time that you can monitor.
