I just bought a Sprint 500, but I cannot use it, because ECU Manager 1.13.5 will not run on my laptop.
I click on the program, and after a delay, Windows XP says that it has crashed, before it even starts!
Very disappointed, bought an AEM and at least there software works!

Find a laptop which has windows 7 installed and see how it goes.

I have no trouble loading with XP on two of my laptops, an old Dell and a HP.

I am not going to upgrade my operating system just to run one program. Even Altium works fine on it (and Win 7 is much slower).

I tried re-installing ECU manager, still wont work. I tuned my AEM with that laptop no problems last night, but ECU manager still won't boot up.
And people wonder why Razorbacks come with hand controllers lol

I use XP on an old Dell laptop with a serial port for Racepak duties, and it definitely runs fine.

Try running as Administrator. It looks like it is trying to access something and is being denied.

I get this too. Annoying. It used to at least run, but when I connected to an ECU and it downloaded the config it crashed and now won't run. No it just crashes on startup.

I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling. Also tried removing everything from the registry to do with Haltech with no change. I've tried running it as administrator. This is on a Toughbook running Windows 7.

I've installed it on another old laptop running XP and its fine but need to get it working on my usual laptop.

Any help appreciated.

Found another thread on this problem.

I deleted the file user.config in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Haltech\ECUManager.exe_Url_qhzj35xt2b4l10m2lb143kpehtae5boo\1.1.13.5 and it seems to at least run now.

Will connect to car and see if it works when I get back to work tomorrow.
