when you download the latest versions of efi live, there is a word document that is downloaded with it too, its in the start menu under the efi live > v7
it should tell you how to set up the controller and update the firmware and bootblocker.
and in the tuning program go to help and register efilive and enter the serial number, ther v2 version you have would be the commercial scan and tune

did you read that word doccument that came in the file when u downloaded the efi v7?
what versions of firmware and bootblock do you have on the v2?
your v2, efi live v7.5 and v8.1 are most likely out of date since you just got your stuff.
that word doccument that is installed under start>efilive>v7.5> and there should be a work doccument there, im not at home so i cant tell u exactly. but it should tell hour exatly how to update your v2 and programs.
also:
i can help out in more detail when i get back home monday mornin.

After Installing:
When the installation has finished, EFILive will check for updates. If EFILive does not automatically check for an update after the initial installation, please select the start menu option: Start->All Programs->EFILive->V7.5->Tools->Check for New Update.
Most likely an update will be available and should be installed to ensure you have the most up to date software. The update usually takes 1-2 minutes and will display a message to indicate when it has completed.
