Uninstall NET using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs. Remove .NET 3.x
first if it is installed (make of note of what version of 3.x you have
installed), then uninstall NET 2.x
Download and install .net 2.0 SP1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...77-E02C-4AD3-AACF-A7633F706BA5&displaylang=en

Then reinstall NET 3.0 if it was installed as mentioned above.

You don't need .NET Framwork 3.0 to install TT, but you do need 2.0 and it's
hotfixes. Just went through this myself.

 

[Frank]

The only .net i have installed is the framework 1.1.
Should I leave this or remove?

[John]

Yes you can leave 1.1 as is.
Download .NET 2.0 from MS website and install it. Install TT after that.

 

[JS]

Leave it, but you do need to install .NET 2.0

Haven't tried installing TT so I'll keep this for future
refererence. Thanks for the tips.

Love to have your car but I have to make do with a 2007 Charger R/T
5.7L HEMI in TorRed with the Road & Track Performance Group. Great
car and it gets 24.6 on the highway!

I no longer own it, but I've been overclocking car engines for a long time,
which got me started in overclocking CPUs.
That old 440 only got 11.0 on trips and 9mpg around town.

What does "overclocking" an engine mean? Can I assume you mean
modern cars with computers running the engine where you can flash
the firmware? First I've heard that term. If you got 9/11 mpg wit
your Six Pack, it was damn good. I had a 1972 Plymouth Gran Fury
with the E-85 440 4-barrel with single exhaust. Blasting up to
the Mackinac Bridge with my girlfriend (now my wife) at 85 mph, I
averaged barely 8, and no better driving to work.

No the old 60s and 1970s.
Taking a stock engine and changing anything and everything that could get me
more power and RPMs.
That meant modifying the carbs or replacing with Fuel Injection for
starters.

The fastest car I had back then would do 180 to 190 mph (a factory fuel
injected 1965 Chevy Malibu SS 327).
You will not find any reference to this model as it was made and shipped to
me by GM on special order.

I also worked independently with Mobil Oil Research to change the Dodge
Charger from 3 two barrels
to a specially developed computerized 10 injector setup before the car was
stolen.
As for the 9Mpg ... the center two barrel was leaned out and the other two
carbs where set to kick in mechanically.

Now, THIS makes sense to me, JS! I was too busy trying to earn a
buck as a boy engineer at Chrysler circa 1969-1974 with a stint
in the Army just to make things interesting.

Wow! I assume this was something even more "secret" than the COPO
cars?

Hope the thief choked on those 10 injectors! But, why 10 and not
just 8?

Yeah, lots of guys replaced the vacuum "secondaries" with
mechanical linkage although for street use, the stock setup with
a TorqueFlite was pretty hard to beat on the Woodward Avenue
Grand Prix in those days.

What axle did you run? Most of my friends with muscle cars of all
makes went with mild rations like 3.23 and 3.31 because they
needed to drive I-75 to work every day. Some went to 3.55 which
helped some but the guys that tried 3.90/4.11 found that unless
they put on some serious rubber, it was all wasted in blue smoke.
In fact, a co-worker had a 4-speed 440 Six Barrel 'Cuda with
4.11s that could ET as quick starting in 2nd gear as 1st, albeit
a lower trap speed. His biggest problem, though was hanging a
hard 1-2 shift and the pistol grip handle literally came off in
his hand! Needless to say, a tow home was in order.

Been great talking with you.

THANK YOU very much! got it to load AND work! I'll be able to send all my
money to the feds now!

But...there is a minor problem as yet.
I still had to install TT by using Safe Mode! When I put the CD in and let
it do Autostart in normal mode the error came back "Setup.exe has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry....."
Any thoughts???
Thanks again JS (and also I'm sure from the IRS)

Odd. I installed TurboTax on an XP SP2 windows installation. It installed
net framework version 2.0 from the TT CD. I know that for sure as I wasn't
online (external phone modem). The 2.0 version was installed over the
presently installed 1.1 version. I did not buy the TT in a store, rather
directly from Intuit. Premier version of TT.

I did go online after installing TT completely to get TT updates to the
program. Windows update is set to notify me of updates only, and I did not
choose to update anything. Normally, I do not go online with the PC with XP
SP2 noted. Mostly for a little bit aged games and such. I updated with the
SP2 update from MS. I purposely avoided updates for net framework to 2 or 3
as my imaging program I use relies on the 1 version, and the program is no
longer supported by Powerquest or Symantec (DriveImage 7). DI 7 is still
working, so I guess my fears were unfounded.

 

[JS]

Had no problems, did not need to install using Safe Mode, so I can't help on
this issue. You may need to call TT Support.

You should however see if you can download and install updates as I did in
the past have an issue as it would fail to update.

It was a 'Factory Experimental' car.

just 8?

9th injector simulated the accelerator pump.
10th injector was needd at the high end as 8 was a little short on fuel
flow.

All my cars were setup for high speed road raceing and not the 1/4 mile.
So axles varied between 3.08 and 3.75

Been great talking with you.

Same here

Sounds like you had quite a blast in your younger days!

I remember the 8 tall stacks on the A/FX cars, but can't say I
remember 10. Been learning quite a bit from you and I appreciate
it.

I can't recall any of my friends doing this sort of thing. Quite
a few got a bit more serious about drag racing but those were the
days of dodging the draft - legally! - and going to college,
neither of which was conducive to serious racing. e.g., I
graduated H.S. in 1965, right at the start of the muscle car era.
I lasted one year after college with an Engineering degree in
1969 before I got my "Greetings!" from Uncle Sam. By the time I
came home in late January, 1972, the Woodward Avenue drag racing
gig was almost literally gone. Apparently, while I was gone, the
cops cleaned it all up. So, I missed all the good stuff as did my
college-bound friends.
