Hi - are you using tunerstudio?

What is the injection set up

Yiou will need to setup your startup enrichment and idle valse settings...

i have black top zetec with gsxr 600 tbs with gsxr injectors

You could download to a USB stick and then copy it onto your laptop with that. A small USB stick don't cost much (if you haven't already got one).

If you do decide to get a new laptop, then either you need it to have a serial port, or you need a USB to serial adapter.

i now have tuner studioms
when i start a new file it looks for the firmware for 024s but cant find it

are you using a usb adapter? or serial cable?

most problems with ecu -> laptop connectivity occur with usb adapters and the change in bus speeds.

most tuners will pretty much always have a laptop with RS232 serial cable input.
