I have an LS1M scanner for much cheaper :mrgreen: Most of the scanner programs that are out there don't run too well with vista (trust me, I have tried) If you can get XP for your laptop, you will be much better off.

Using you laptop, you'd need a PowrTuner or an HP Tuner. I don't know of any other laptop based scanners. Besides, getting one of these programs you'd kill 2 birds with one stone. You'll have a tuner and a scanner with either one of these programs. Also, you can check and clear codes with them.

THere may be a problem with the PT and Vista however. My scanner works, however when I attempted to log a 1/4 run it gave me an error and didn't record. I haven''t had the chance to try again to see if it was just a fluke or if it's really a problem.
