In the main menu on the programmer, select [Diagnostics] -> [Tech Support] -> [Version Info]. (You can ignore the warning message that will come up). The "Calibration Version" should look like "0.x.xxxx" where the last 4 x's are (usually) the same as the Serial Number. If the Version number DOES begin with zero ("0"), you have custom tuned files. If the Version begins with one ("1") though, so it looks like "1.x.xxxx", then the unit has canned tunes, not custom. Again - any calibration that looks like 0.x.xxxx is a CUSTOM build. All calibrations that begin with "1", i.e., 1.x.xxxx are CANNED calibrations.
You may also want to try and update pegasus then try to update the gryphon.

Thanks, I will check on that later.

Having problem updating pegasus though with my windows vista OS. Not showing any files to be updated when it goes through the process?

btw, I do have a call into PHP and Bill is hopefully going to be able to call me later today when he gets back in to help out with my questions. Hoping to order some custom tunes soon too.

Thanks everyone, I will try that tonight and see where that gets me.

Corey, was that you I spoke to on the phone earlier? :-) If so, should I assume that Bill won't be calling me back until I upload my files for him to take a look at first? If I have any trouble tonight do I just log back on here and provide information that will be answered tomorrow?

Sorry, one more question for the crew? If i have trouble with loading pegasus on my home computer, will it matter if i load it to my work computer instead? Does it save vital information locally to that machine that I need or won't have available if the computer is turned back over to the company?

There is a thread around here somewhere on how to get past the vista problem. The way I've been doing it is going into Control Panel>User Accounts and Family Safety>User Accounts>Turn User Account Control on or off. Go in and turn it off and restart your computer. Do the pegasus update, turn the control back on and restart.
Bill found a code that you can run to disable it or something but when I tried it, it messed up pegasus and I had to reinstall it.

ok, so I have learned a few things now.

A) the gryphon does not have custom tunes on it. the calibration is correct it starts with a 1 as needed.
B) All of the vista patches are not working for me? still get component MSCOMM32.OCX error and I have uninstalled, reinstalled with the user control setting off/on alternately as noted by longshot and even used the two seperate run commands that Bill suggested in a different thread.
C) What is strange is that the suggested update that pegasus is noting is the same version that is showing to be installed?
D) Gonna need Bill's aid I think...hope he gives me a call back tomorrow. I was able to send my files to thier server and sent him an email with my serial number to hlep.

Thanks again everyone. Looking forward to getting this running and then getting my custom tunes ordered to really wake this sleepy engine up.

Best suggestion is find a computer with XP.
Pegasus is PHP's software to connect with their server and that's where all the files are stored.

Josh,

Let me know if the recover worked correctly. I'm sure if there was a problem we'd see something about it by now, but just like a little peace of mind.

Take care.
