So I finally said the hell with it and went over to my Windows 7 laptop and had no issues whatsoever.

I'll post a screenshot of the error message later if you wish ?

Anyhow, everything went great once I had a working laptop. Flashing updated tune went as planned, but I did notice how time consuming this was in comparison to flashing a file via EcuTek cable and laptop. I'm guessing this has something to do with the overall speed of the tablet and internal memory it uses ?

Thanks! Need to test out my tune now

Glad everything worked out. Regarding flash times, the OFT writes the entire ROM, not just parts of it. This takes 4.5 minutes. From my experience, Ecutek dealer software also takes 4.5 minutes too when the entire ROM is written. Ecutek customers who report shorter write times likely are only writing part of the ROM (ie, just the bits that were edited). Apart from the extra time it takes to do a full ROM write, there are some potential safety advantages to do this (vs partial writes).

I've also reloaded the FA20 OTS maps on the website. Sorry about the earlier snafu!

Cheers,
shiv
