So let me get this straight...you wonder if it will work off a cd or floppy without being on the hard drive while in the car? I believe it will, seems like I did that one time. Second, you wonder if you can pull up datalogs while in XP? I can pull up datalogs on my computer with XP, so you no reason why you can't.

if you make a 95 boot disk you should be able to run the e6k.exe program successfully... any of the dos based systems boot disks will work, 95, 98, msdos, drdos, etc.

What about the haltech software doesn't work in XP? Granted I only have the software to mess around with (downloaded the wolf, microtech and others also). So far it has worked with both of my XP systems, but it doesn't actually have to communicate with a ECU.

Try booting XP normally then find the e6k.exe, right click on it and go to the properties. Run in Windows 95 compatibility mode.



This works for me when running games that aren't XP compatible.

The compatibility mode won't work with Haltech software. Go to this link and download the dos disks.

You just download the file, put it on a floppy and boot from the floppy. It will automatically load the EK6.exe file on startup and you're off and running.
