STfan, Great ! please everyone keep this going !! I bought a 22 st and constantly read stuff people have changed and adjusted with forscan. I so want to do alot of the things I read they change.The problem is I know nothing ,zero,ziltch, about how to use for scan and it seems hard to figure it out by the things I read when I see people asking for the paper forms with the info you need to change things. Plus truth be told I am almost computer illiterate so when someone says just go into ur bios or some other crap ,I'm olut . I have no idea what you mean... So for all of us that don't know the difference between the properties of a computer and the properties our houses are on , please keep posting for us !!! THX
