 How to Check/Manually Install Drivers
Solution If a Tuner was plugged in before the software was installed it may be necessary to install the drivers manually. A sign of this is if you see Errors coming up when trying to use the functions of the X3/Livewire Updater. “Failed to Write Data” "Connect Livewire" or others.

To Check this out, have the tuner plugged in.

Click on Start
Then Right Click on My Computer
Then Hit Properties

Windows Vista or Windows 7 computers - you can go ahead and click on Device Manager on the top left corner of the active window.

Windows XP - When the System Properties Window Opens Up Click on the Hardware Tab

Then Click on the Device Manager Button.

Within the Device Manager list, we are looking for an item with a Yellow Exclamation Mark. It may say LIVEWIRE, UPGRADE LOADER, UNKNOWN DEVICE, X3P Device or others.

Right click on the item that has the Yellow Mark on it, and then click on Update Driver.

This will open the FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD. Let it search automatically and install the drivers.

NOTE: This will only work if the software has been installed.

I agree the software needs to be on the disk...

The instructions were very helpful. I was having difficulty installing the drivers - but with the instructions for manual installation it worked like a charm. Thanks for the help!
