I'm rather un-tech savvy myself, so I guess we're in the same boat! I just need to read/clear codes/lights most of all, but I'd also like to play around with the settings/coding. And for the price, you can't beat $30! Thanks for the info man

My pleasure! You should also be aware that the install for the software can be a bit confusing, but just read through the instructions and take your time and you should have it working properly.

Haha great... I hope my work doesn't mind me installing it on their laptop!

If it's a work laptop, you probably don't even have rights to install it.
(Unless... you are an ADMIN!)

Is that funny? Why wouldn't I be able to install the program on my laptop? Let me reiterate, I am not tech savvy, so cut a guy a little slack

You need admin rights to install/configure it. Do you have them? What OS?

Companies typically restrict access so regular users such as yourself can't install software. They like to maintain tight control over their environments.

Well shit. I work at a tech company, so I'm sure there's firewalls setup to restrict the install. Guess I better slip the IT guy a 5er and tell him to pass me the admin rights!

A fiver will get you laughed at. lol
He will definitely not pass you admin rights (unless he's really "loose" - shame on him!), but maybe he can install it for you, depending on how uptight management is about unapproved software.

I was being facetious, I'm not going to attempt to pay off an IT guy in my office... I'm good friends with a couple of them, I'll just run it by them in a quick hallway conversation
