I know questions on the TVR diagnstic software pops up regularly and I thought all the dumb questions had been asked.. but maybe not. I hope this is really simple for you knowlegable folks out there.

I've downloaded the software (yellow car version) from a couple of helpfult sites. Got the software up-and-running and got the ECU talking to the laptop. I can see the realtime logging screen, but I can't get PgUp/PgDn to switch between screens. Tried lots of other PgUp/PgDn combinations (with no joy), tried software from different web sites and tried differnt laptops. I know I must be doing something dumb but haven't stumbled into the solution. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi !

I don´t know if it could be a problem with the version of the operating system. The software is made for earlier Windows versions (win 98)and might get a p´roblem if you use newer Windows OS. In my insallation a use Win XP SP 2. In XP it is possible to tell the OS to run the software in a simulated win 98 mode, thats how I have my software installed and everthing works.

Thanks Peppe. Someting I can look into. The machines I've used are running Windows 2000 (I'd hoped that was old enough!) and XP SP2.

Hi Graham. Just went to your site and downloaded the copy of the software- same problem. Haven't tried the Windows 98 "emulation" yet.
