Diagbox not closing

Post by max1 »

After installing a few updates from the initial install of 7.02 the software now won’t close. After each update (am now on 7.57) i was able to close Diagbox ok after it installed the “internet updates”, but then after restarting the laptop & then opening Diagbox again - when I try to close it just says “Closing of the application in progress, please wait” .... & half an hour later it's still trying to close.

I thought that perhaps any updates would cure this but it appears thats not the case. I have a Rev C full chip interface & Win7. Doesn't make any difference if I have the interface connected or not.

Only way to close is with task manager. I take it it's not safe to use with the car if its not shutting down properly ?

Thanks

Hmm
I have yet to figure out how to update mine. I have a phobia about letting it connect to the net.
Now I'm worried about messing with it at all. It works at the moment...

These aren't internet updates - it's just what it says on the screen! As long as you have your network adapter enabled , but no live connection to the net you are fine.

Max - make sure that windows update is not getting re-enabled after startup and anti virus software - that will interfere with updates. Disable the services for now until everything is installed.

If you don’t allow the firewall requests it may interfere with future sessions, so important to allow all these through Max.

Funny because I did allow all connections as & when it prompted & the updates installed fine it was just closing it that was the problem. The only way to get it to close was turning it off completely. Maybe just a glitch on my particular machine. Thx
