Not sure why you do not see the "System" icon on the "Control Panel" window. That is a little strange on XP. Could be related to local admin permissions I guess. But there is another way to get to the "Device Manager" window.

On you desktop you should have a "My Computer" icon. Right click on this icon. On the menu box that opens, click(left button) on the "Properties" option on the bottom. This will bring up the "System Properties" window and menu. Click on the "Hardware" tab. Then click on the "Device Manager" button. This will bring up the "Device Manager" window. Right click in the window anywhere; this will ensure you have a menu option for "Scan for hardware changes" option. Make sure the Smarty is plugged in and powered up. Click the "Scan for hardware changes" and then follow the instructions for the USB device install from the Mads website.

Let me know if you can get to this point and maybe I can help further.

Ok well you got farther while I was typing. What is the direcory name that you unzipped the drivers in??

Hello , To be able to update your smarty ecm tuner. Please follow these guidelines.

Start by right clicking on your desktop to create a new folder. Rename the new folder smarty.

You will need to download the driver to the smarty folder. Save the driver to the smarty folder http://www.madselectronics.com/downl...DM_2.00.00.zip

You will need the smarty usb.exe This program allows you to update the smarty. Save this to the smart folder http://www.madselectronics.com/downl.../SmartyUSB.exe




The driver and the software programs need to be extracted into the smarty folder using THIS extraction tool. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/s...2.exe?download


Here are the directions for installing the driver http://www.madselectronics.com/downl...stallation.pdf


Once you have the driver installed you can use the smarty usb.exe program to update the smarty software. Click on the smarty icon. Press run. You will now see a seen button. Before you hit the send button you need to load a program into the smarty usb.exe. Click on file. Open , look in the smarty folder to find the smte file to load into your smarty.

Load the file and press run. It will take about 40 minutes to update your smarty.

Thanks
Bob

SmaryDownloads I think... I opend a file like it said to and I can get to that point but it won't do the c:dxx22 thingyy.. Man thanks for your help!!!

Bob Wagner

Luvnacumns

I've done all of that? and still can't get there???

Bob Wagner

shane calm down

Luvnacumns

I finally got to that point too... Thannnks Bob... Let me drink a cold one!!! AAAAHHH!!! Ok I am ready..

Bob Wagner

my bet is the driver is still zipped.

windows will find the driver if its unzipped in the smarty folder.

Luvnacumns

So do I need to go to the file and un-zip it???

RamWheelsBy4

You need to change the "c:dxx22" thingy to the actual directory on your machine where you unzipped the driver software. It will be somthing like "c:\smartydownloads\" or maybe "c:\smartydownloads\dxx22" depending on where the file was unzipped to.

RamWheelsBy4

Yes what Bob said, it needs to be unzipped. He can probably help better than me, but I have helped lots of users with this type of frustration, both Smarty and other windows junk.

right click on the file and "extract here
