Has anyone got a copy to run successfully on their computer? Yes, I do... However, it seem like if the copy is really outdated, it would disable itself...I'll have to check my laptop to see if this confirms my suspicion. > Has anyone got a copy to run successfully on their computer? hi yes got it going but it took a few goes and it is prone to shutting down occasionally.Get a message every time about the cd being out of date, but it usually works. My trouble is navigating it... cheers! >> Has anyone got a copy to run successfully on their computer? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > usually works. My trouble is navigating it... > cheers! How old are your copies? It is probably nearly two years since I got mine. They will not load properly I get a few opening pictures then it crashes (I have two copies from different sources although they may be off the source originally). Both seem to stop around the same point, the loading used to progress further but never to the point where I could use them. Any other pointers as to how to get it running? Compaq presario 2100 running XP. > >> Has anyone got a copy to run successfully on their computer? > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Any other pointers as to how to get it running? Compaq presario 2100 running > XP. I'm running it on Win2k (don't use XP...) Bought mine about a year ago - maybe a bit more, but got the 'out of date' warnings then, didn't seem to make any difference. Thinking back I may have imaged the disc onto HD to install, you could try that? It certainly took a few goes to get it right. cheers! Do you have the Microsoft loopback adapter installed (window software feature)? That is a must before you install the software. Sometimes it will work fine without it until you install something else which modifies your PC and then this leads to a conflict with Window and WIS. The serial number can be either the type that has an expiration or it lasts forever. Depends on which keygen was used to create yours. You will always get the out of date warning though. I think you have a computer conflict or corruption error if it worked for quite a while and now just doesn't complete booting the program. If you had a serial number error, it would tell you that it is no longer valid and then just shut down. "> Do you have the Microsoft loopback adapter installed (window software > feature)?

I do not know if this will help you, but I have had some luck in running older software that relied on earlier versions of windoze by trying this: Right click on the program .exe icon Choose "Properties" Choose the "Compatibility Tab" Try running it under different compatibility modes, try running in 256 colours, try running in a lower screen resolution, try turning off "advanced text" services. BTW. Is there some place I can get a copy and serial number for this software? SNIP >Choose the "Compatibility Tab" > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >BTW.

Thanks News, does it connect to the onboard CPU or is it a glorified Haynes Manual? Cheers, Mark, M/cr to reply by email, please take the michael > >> Out of interest what does it do?

Any pointers? It is THE information resource maintained by MB for all of their dealer mechanics. It takes 5 gb of hard drive space and covers pretty much every Merecedes car, truck, bus, etc. made since 1968. Rather archaic interface though, so you have to spend a long time learning it if you want to learn how to find things quickly. The system that Mercedes mechanics use to hook up and interface with the car is the Star Diagnostics System "SDS" (I believe that is the whole name). WIS is easy to find on eBay. Star is sometimes sold there but it usually comes with the computer and muliplexer box, so it usually runs thousands of $. |
