    Update to Windows 8.
    I've tried to uninstall and reinstall hptuners. same results.
    I've tried the compatibility stuff (Windows xp & Windows 7)

    This sucks. I just got the ISO for 8. Did you completely wipe out your old OS?

    if not opening at all. your missing the .net framework vcm suite is built on/with!i would tell you wich one i have installed ,but iam using a tablet that needed allot of old frameworks to get gps bluetooth etc...most likey you can roll back your framework to whatever vcm is built on!god i wish this was on mac/ubuntu!!i would rain in help!!!

    For those wanting to use HPT with Windows 8, make sure you have .NET Framework 3.5x installed.

    See here:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443.aspx

    "You can also enable the .NET Framework 3.5 yourself through Control Panel. In Control Panel, choose Programs and Features, choose Turn Windows features on or off, and then select the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 check box. This option requires an Internet connection."

    That will install .NET 2.0 and 3.0, as well.

    After doing this, restart your computer, then uninstall any current copy previously installed of HPT, restart again, then install the latest beta (you'll need to email [email protected] for it). Everything should work just fine now under Windows 8. It does for me, and I'm getting zero errors.
