Ever since I updated my software a few weeks ago, the V7.5 stuff has not been working at all. It gives me some sort of error code that I haven't even looked into at all, but it may be an installation error like what Lenny said he is experiencing.
@MarkBroviak Maybe you have some insight on James's CAX file issue? Does the file possibly need to be installed somewhere else in order for it to work?
Mine is version V7.5.48 and the cax are in the C:/programfiles86x/efilive/7.5/Calibrations but I will say that every time they have an update it screws something up with the software. Really sucks they basically forcing us to not use 7.5 anymore but it works great and I've been using it since the V1 days!
Yup, new computer is on the same version and got nothing. I agree though, 7.5 is tried and true. They shoulda released v8 years ago if they wanted us to switch. Go figure.
For shits and giggles, 2005 in center, 2010 on left and 2023 on right lol
Not to derail your thread, but I also have the Dell that you are showing in the middle 
RUNS LIKE A CHAMP!
RUNS LIKE A CHAMP!I was told the update forces you to use V8 only. No more 7.5 allowed from a guy looking to buy old V2s that haven't had the recent update.

June 06, 2024, V8.4.55 Public Release - Update 1
V8.4.54 Public Release - Update 1 Pay particular attention to the warnings below - once you have updated your FlashScan/AutoCal firmware to this latest version you cannot "go back" to using the previous firmware or software versions. WARNING for FlashScan/AutoCal V2 users:Firmware...

Says right there if you update:
Firmware versions V2.08.199 and later are ONLY compatible with the EFILive V8 software, they are NOT compatible with any version of the EFILive V7.5 software.
You SHOULD only update the firmware to version V2.08.199 or later if you intend to use the EFILive V8 software.
You SHOULD NOT update the firmware to version V2.08.199 or later if you intend to use the EFILive V7.5 software.
NOTE: The V7.5 software is no longer actively supported - EFILive does not provide technical support for the EFILive V7.5 software.
That was the case for a while, but there is a later update for V7.5 that allows you to open the V8 files again.
Efilive is the best.
The competition would have just left us out to dry.
I know I'm kind of dumb, but I couldn't figure out V8 a few years ago. It didn't even seem intuitive at all. I message somebody on FB about it he didn't seem to care to help me, so I suck with V7.5 after he said no body like V8....
