| Installation works best if you can install as the administrator. Failing that, if you copy the install executable to your harddrive somewhere and rename it setup.exe, it should work as well. | Installation works best if you can install as the administrator.

| - | On some Vista systems, when you run the DSMLink application it's unable to write out its own preferences files. By default, these are written to the same directory as the DSMLink application executable. Apparently Vista doesn't like that and in some cases flat out refuses to do it. The result in those extreme cases is that you're asked whether you've got a 1G or 2G ECU every time you bring up the application and none of your preferences (COM port selection for example) are preserved. | + | On some Vista systems (possibly when the application is not being run with administrator privileges), when you run the DSMLink application it's unable to write out its own preferences files.

| To fix this as well as several other little "Vista-isms", it's suggested that you run DSMLink in Windows XP compatibility mode and select to run it as administrator. XP compatibility mode can be selected by right clicking on the dsmlink.exe file and selecting "Properties" then checking the XP compatibility option. | To fix this as well as several other little "Vista-isms", it's suggested that you run DSMLink in Windows XP compatibility mode and select to run it as administrator.
