    Arrow Please Read the Help File First

    Please take a moment to review the help file as alot of common questions
    can be answered from it. Also, check back after every software update as
    new content is being added all the time.

    You can open the help file at any time in the Editor or Scanner by
    pressing 'F1'. It will take you to the section of the help file that relates
    to what is currently open in the scanner or editor.

    Example: If you have the spark advance section open in the editor and
    press F1 it will take you the the spark advance section of the help file.

    Note: At this time if you have the help file open by hitting F1 you will not
    be able to switch back to the scanner or editor until you close the help
    file.

    Current Users can also access it direct outside of the program by:
    Start->programs-> HP Tuners-> 'VCM Suite Help'
    ...this would be your best option if you want to use the scanner and/or
    editor at the same time as the help file as you will be able to switch back
    and forth as you please.

    Future HPT Users can Download it here (right-click, save-as):

    Re: Did you check the help file first????

    Another useful shortcut for the help file is to hit F1 while in the Scanner or the Editor. For example, if you are in the Editor and are viewing the Engine>Idle tab, you can hit F1 and it will take you directly to that section in the help file. Same goes for the Scanner.

    Changed title and TTT to hopefully get more users reading the help file.

    It's working for me, what kind of error message did you get?

    You can also find a link on the products page to the same file. (both links point to the same place)

    Re: NEW USERS, please read the help file first

    Well, if I try to download through IE I get an error message basically saying "Cannot download from www.hptuners.com". If I try to Mozilla, the error message is "The document contains no data". I have no clue really since I have no problems downloading from other sites.
    I'm planning on buying very soon, just wanted a head start.

    ??? ??? I got your second e-mail again, still nothing. Try [email protected]. We have no restrictions in terms of file size or anything, just obscene language. :

    Re: NEW USERS, please read the help file first

    I read the e-mail header details and apparently there's a filter somewhere (ESAFE something) that automatically removes all files of the chm type. That's why it didn't get through. It says this file type is on a restricted list. Ok, at least I know now. Interesting that it doesn't give you some kind of indication that the message has been altered.

    the second try was a zip file, I just sent the zip file to your hotmail account.

    Got it. It doesn't matter if it's a zip file, the filter catches it anyway. Thanks for your help.

    Re: NEW USERS, please read the help file first

    I was able to download the file but when it is opened and I click on a link and I get "page can not be displayed". I checked File types and it opens with Microsoft® HTML Help Exe. I checked Internet options and security, it looks like it is ok. anyone else having the same problem? Anyone know how ti fix?

    Re: NEW USERS, please read the help file first

    Got it figured out, go to the VCM suite.chm file you down loaded and right click, go to properties, on the general tab look to see if there is button that says "unlock", click the button to unlock the file, then double click to open the file and it should open. I have Windows XP and it looks like XP locked the file to protect the OS.
