Silver leaf install. How did it go for you?

Got it today. Installed drivers, ran setup.exe, tried all the ports, still not working. Install and manuals seems dated. Not working yet. Read their FAQ'S. Will try again tomorrow, call them if I have to.
Not impressed so far.
  • Call them up. I had questions with the codes I was seeing. Got right thru and they were very helpful.
  • Well, I can't believe that windows 8.1 would make this so tough. Somehow I need to go to updates and recovery, then get rid of some files, then change start up settings, then re-install the program... ghesh. I'm confused enough with this stuff... what ever happened to plug and play?

    Maybe Monday... giving up right now.

    I'm in the same boat. Just got the program up and running, but can't find the com port.

    New Acer Tablet running Window's 8. It's been a long time since I was a PC user since I've been on Mac's for a while.

    Thx for any help.

    I changed my Win 8 interface to Win 7, so I don't know if this will work for you.

    Open the VMSpc program, select Advanced > Communications (make sure you have the correct JIB model selected) > Scan for JIB Connection.

    That was it. Thank you. Got it working and it identified my random check engine light as a high reading or no info from the turbo pressure sensor.

    Hopefully it is a loose wire or bad sensor.

    I can see Silver leaf giving me great peace of mind chugging down the road.
