In my experience it sometimes takes a bit to get registered. AFAIK that web site is a one man show. More or less.

Someplace is an email address where you can contact the web master. That is what I did.

Some progress. I can now log into GearHead EFI but when I go for the BIN the following appears.

''
Pinger, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.''

I'm guessing awaiting activation.
As per suggestions, if it doesn't happen soon I'll try and contact the site mod via e-mail. I had to do this for a (small) LPG forum and it was worth the effort.

Yes, it's a volunteer run site.

I'm guessing awaiting activation.

Maybe try posting a hello thread in introductions? You may be able to PM 1project2many - he's the administrator - or I could if you like.

I installed the TP stuff (from your earlier link) but when I go to open it I get a pop up saying ''Can't start...MSVCR120.dll is missing from computer... try reinstalling to fix''.
I've done the reinstall and no difference.

Doesn't seem to matter how often I reinstalling I still get the ''Can't start...MSVCR120.dll is missing from computer'' pop-up. But it is on my computer in the TP files.

Cheers for the offer but if I can post on the site I'll do that. I want the TP to open and work on my lap top first though.
How do I get to to recognise the supposedly missing MSVCR120.dll thing?
(I'm crap at computing - just in case anyone hasn't guessed that yet).

Not sure - did you search for it in the tool bar on the bottom? Something like "msvcr120.dll is missing" or repair? Other than that, maybe someone else knows or you'll have to contact TP's website.

You need to figure out what PCM you have (something like 16250279 or 12200411, etc), it should have a label on it. If it's the "Black Box" there's not a lot of support with TP.

On my PCM, the label reads:

0936065 CMUD
86CMUD3491631JOQ
SERV.NO 16263494

That looks like the famous (or infamous) Black Box PCM. I don't think TP will help but, you could ask once you get on GearHead-EFI.

If the BIN thing on the page below is what I need.

Reemembered.

Thought that is what I needed - yes?

I need an XDF thing as well? Where do I get one of those?

Seems my TP is opening after all but shows 'No XDF selected'.

Unreadable, un-tuneable, both?
I'll settle for reading.

(What is meant by 'Black Box'? Just a stock GM PCM? Aren't they all?)
