Has anyone used the Typhoon or Storm engine management ECU and software from Specialist Components, AT Power, etc..?

I have the software but it is not installing properly on my PC's, I tried to install it on Windows XP and Windows 7 both install OK but won't run.

Has anyone else had any experience with this product or software?

Thanks.

I couldn't get mine to work, kept getting a your software is out of date message. I have just got back from the USA and apparently my mate has emailed specialist components and got it working while I was away.

Sorry can't be of more help till I chat to him later

No forum that I could find. I emailed them and they are sending out a new disc. I tried it on my wifes netbook and it worked, yet it won't work on my pc. Frustrating...

Works on my wifes Eeepc notebook.

megajolt software is a different animal... I'd be asking them directly if they have issues with the software on 64 bit computers

where do you download the software?

They send it to you on a CD, (I don't know why the whole software is under 2 mb), it looks similar to the Megajolt software but with a LOT more options for adjusting advance and fuel load based on external inputs and ability to control a few more outputs.
