ok well Im new here (fromPSN) and to the tuning world, But im definlty trying to learn it. Im planning on ordering the whole software kit maybe this week. But i gotta million questions. So Im gonna make this easy, Ill just list them:doh:


1- I am getting ready to buy a netbook ( mini laptop). What are the requriments for the software. I was reading somewhere on here about not using vista, that you want xp. can it be used with vista? how much does it take to run the program?

2 if i install the software on a computer, can i move it to another computer if need be? or is it need a new license or what not?

3- Ive gotta chip from TDP tony wildman, can i use the minotaur software to reburn that with either php tunes or my own custom tunes?


guess I really dont have a million questions but #1 is the most important one cauuse im thinkin about buyin a HP netbook

Thanks for all the help in advance! Jon

I currently run Vista on my laptop, and I've had zero issues with the Minotaur software and the Phoenix Flash. It has all run like a charm.

2 if i install the software on a computer, can i move it to another computer if need be? or is it need a new license or what not?
You can, but you'll have to ask Bill for specific instructions. I haven't done it personally, but I'm thinking of getting rid of Vista and going with Windows 7, and I might just wipe the partition out and start with a fresh install.

3- Ive gotta chip from TDP tony wildman, can i use the minotaur software to reburn that with either php tunes or my own custom tunes?
You can, but you'll have to send the chip to Bill so he can re-format it.


Any other questions, feel free to ask!

The re-format is just so the chip and burner play nice together.
