I'm trying to load a new program. When I plug the Smarty into the computer, it used to say "new hardware found" on my screen in the lower right hand corner and I would click on it. Now, I plug it in and it just makes a sound. There's no message at all except an occassional "hardware can't be found" message that has popped up twice. Has anyone got any ideas? Also, I did not set my truck back to stock before trying to reprogram it. Will this make a difference? Thanks..

 

the sound its making is normal. the new hardware found message should only show up the first time you connect the smarty after you first bought it. (or if you reformatted your PC). Just start the update and you should be fine.

and you don't have to return to stock before loading a new version.

 

OK.. I downloaded my file into my current downloads screen. I also have the Smarty USB screen pulled up ready for the information to send the smarty. I forgot how I can transfer from current downloads to my Smarty file. I can pull up my existing smarty files through the Smarty USB file button, just not the new program. Any ideas.. I'm sorry for the questions, I'm just horrible with computers.. Thanks again..

Sometimes I hate being a complete computer idiot.. My poor mouse is taking a lot of abuse.. I still don't have it downloaded.. I have a full page of downloads from tonight, but it's all wrong I guess..
