Trouble loading tunes

I have an Xcal3 that I got from Matt last fall and I have done all the updates for the firmware and what not.. The problem I am having is when I go to program the truck it tells me that there is an error opening the file. It doesn't matter which of the tunes I try loading it does it with all of them. The Xcal says that the tunes are in it. It just isn't able to open them. Any body have any suggestions.

i had this same problem. I was trying to load "aggressive street economy." that is what i named it in the live load software. i then shortened it to "ASE" and everything worked fine. ive tried other tunes too and it still loads correctly. i didnt get any new files either. maybe the tuner has a character limit that no one knew about. However "aggressive tow" works with the name so if there is a limit, its longer than that.

edit: mine would fail after it downloaded the stock file and then the tuner would be locked and couldnt find the stock file until i reloaded it on the computer.
