lt401vette, lets see if this helps you , glad to help and I understand the importance of this, cause I am gonna need help down the road I am sure.
top of my screen on tuner studio says ms2/extra 3.4.1 release 20151223, and I am registered. what happened was I open ignition options/wheel decoder, I was trying to check if ms was controlling timing so I was setting fixed timing etc. when I tried to change everything back, I got the screen saying difference report 100% saw the bar then the outlinng screen was shown with nothing in the middle and the screen was locked, I tried everything, nothing worked reset computer, reset everything, even tried to put values back so there was no difference report did not matter would not work. my other issue was with tuner studio 3.0 gives you option to back up project that's awesome, so I did put on zip drive so I could open a project on another computer. that after I played with it for a while worked, I cant say exactly what I did but it worked. initially if you wanted to start a new project with the new computer to ms, it would detect firmware so it was communicating, but for somereason when I chose to open from zip drive, and I turned key on, just kept saying not connected. after I got that connected I went back in with old computer that was stuck and magically unstuck sorry I know sounds confusing anymore questions please ask I will post up

Have you run into any other blank white dialogs?
Check to see if this setting is turned on:
Options --> Advanced --> Force OpenGL Active

I have not run into anything else, however I was having a issue with ms commanding timing, it was not so, I sent my ms out to see what the problem was, but I will look into what you said. any thoughts on the issue of saving a project?? you know that's a huge plus, love the feature a little playing around and it worked, but it wasn't plug and play per say, tuner studio 3.0 when I tried to open that saved project wouldn't work from zip drive, but I think I opened from zip drive then it worked

I don't know if I am entirely clear on the issue you had there?
Was it that it didn't connect when opened from the Project Backup?

Did you do Detect to get the right Comm Settings for the different PC?

sorry sounds confusing. let me try and explain better. when I download ts 3.0 in old computer, I opted to create back up project selected jump drive saved, on new computer with ts 3.0, I went in under create a new project selected option to open one chose jump drive it would not take. I think while ts was open I then click on project backup on jump drive and that's how I got ts 3.0 on new computer to except the new project. then initially when connected to megasquirt I had issues, the computer was communicating as it could detect firmware, but everytime I turned key on when I loaded my project it would say offline. eventually after playing around not sure what I did I got it to work. sorry hope this helps some
