Fixing Wrong Original MAC Address in TMAC

If you believe TMAC is displaying incorrect original MAC address then you can fix this by using following command:

tmac -n <network-adapter-name> -ro

Where, <network-adapter-name> will be the name of your network adapter you wish to fix the issue for.

Checkout this link for more info on TMAC command line options.

Note: Make sure that you run CMD.exe as administrator. To do so, right click on the CMD icon and click 'Run as administrator' option. Also use the CD command first to change the directory to where TMAC is installed to be able to run the "tmac" command.

Sorting TMAC Installation Failure

In certain scenario, its possible that TMAC fails to install due to misconfiguration or missing components on your computer. This small post will describe how to resolve this issue.

You will first need to uninstall TMAC completely from your system if it got partially installed. Check files in the installation folder that you can find under Program Files (x86) folder and delete them. You then have to find and delete following files from your computer:

MSCHRT20.OCX
MSCOMCTL.OCX
TABCTL32.OCX

After deleting above files, run the TMAC installer again. The above method should fix the installation issue.
