Hi all,
I'm living inside this thing trying to get a handle on all it can do. I've got a few questions:
First, I'm a bit confused on what is normal, and what isn't as far as when it is booting. I don't know anyone with a VP to compare it to, so I'm asking... The first thing I see when I turn it on is a message that says, "can't move \cf\ COLDBOOT.YES to \cf\ COLDBOO" and the rest of the image is off the screen.
This brings me to question 2: The VP hangs for a second with that text on the screen, then a window pops up saying, "To keep your tool settings and saved files insert your old master CompactFlash(R) card into the top CF card slot 2 now. Press Y to continue." Now my dealer got this VP from another dealer who was using it as a demo on his truck. I know this for two reasons: first, he told me, and second: there is a shop name entered in the SHOP INFO screen. When I first booted it on his truck, he said that whole CF window was normal, because I didn't have a CF2 card installed. Fair enough, right? So I bought a CF card, but that screen still comes up with every reboot.
This brings me to question 3: I know (or I think) that the VP is recognizing the CF2 card, because it will let me move screen shots and movies from the data management window. But after I move them, I cannot ever find them again.
So is some of this normal? Can anyone point me to where my files are being stored? I'm sure they're there, but I'm missing something while trying to take in all this other info.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate any help, because I'm sure there will be plenty more questions!
