It has the yellow exclaimation mark on it. Have already tried right clicking and selecting update driver but it only comes up with automatically find using windows blh blah or find it manually.I will try and find it manually tomorrow when I get hm thru those files u mentioned thanks mate.Failing that will try and re-install http://api.viglink.c..._13171136018661 from this link.From memory, I installed the app and it went through the install process, then a second install process kicked off, it looked more like an executable unpacking some files.Then I connected the xcal and and the standard windows driver install window came up, and I selected search for driver automatically (or what ever it said close enough) - it found the drivers and installed them ok.I would be looking to see if you can see any the driver files or directories and manually point the xcal to it when you plug it in. if not try and uninstall any instances you have of livelink, and then re-run through the install from the herrod website.

I ended up giving the values to be entered......... cheers IH8TOADSThe needle now is roughly on 1 needle thickness over the 1/4 line when cruising androughly on 1-2needle thicknesses under 3/4 if the half way line was max when sitting in traffic.I also got the "speed less than for fans to be on" raised from 30 to 40.Just need some time to myself so I can sort out a this data logging. Thanx again guys. Edited 29/09/11 08:49 PM by Kroozin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of getting a lower thermostat and have the fans settings adjusted accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICFORD Member 84 Member For: 14y Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 30/09/11 08:00 AM Share Posted 30/09/11 08:00 AM Yeah, I think I'll give it a go. When my car is sitting in traffic and temps reaches half way, the car does'nt feel too happy, especially if I give it a boot full, feels laggy and can hear a bit of pinging.
