Megatune stopepd working

[stephenhobbs]

Hi folks. I just wondered if anyone else had seen this problem recently / before.
I have a Windows Vista laptop, and have been using MegaTune 2.25p3 (downloaded via the link in the MS/Extra manual).
It had been working well, apart from the fact that certain things go wrong if you don't run as an administrator user).
Anyway, last weekend I went out for a datalogging / tuning run and all was well, all very exciting since I'd just upgraded my ECU from MS1 to MS1/Extra!

Then today I fired up the laptop again and now MegaTune doesn't work any more.
To be precise, when I run it in the house, not connected to my ECU, it comes up with the splash screen and puts an icon on the task bar, but the main window never comes up. If I open the task manager, MT is there, consuming no CPU and just idle. It exits if I right clink the task bar icon and hit "close".
Pretty weird, since it was working just fine and so far as I know, nothing changed on my laptop since the tuning run.

If I log into the laptop as administrator, then MT runs fine and the main screen opens up immediately.
I don't like running this way, especially as all my MSQ files etc are in my own user directory and it's messy finding them when logged in as administrator.

Any clues?

Thanks.
Steve.

Maybe you can set Megatune to always run as Administrator?

Thanks James, good tip.
It's still really weird that it suddenly stopped working as my normal user.
I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.
Ah well, I'll have to live with it, just wondered if I was the only one having this trouble.
