Hmm, i see. Not too clued up on it yet myself but i think it was release 409 that i tried. He has XP and a registered version f vagcom, all i did was borrow his cable and download 409 to my Vista laptop from your website and ran it as normal. I didnt test everything but what i did do worked ok.
My
problem is i've ordered a non genuine cable (should arrive tomorrow) with the intentions of downloading your shareware version and purchasing a licence for it. But i guess i'm right in thinking that now the cable i've ordered will be useless to me as i have Vista?
If thats true i can see where your coming from with what your doing but i an also see Phils point. For example now that i've shelled out £20 on a non genuine cable (my fault i know, should have done my home work) i'm going to have to ditch that and buy genuine (another £40 or so) so at this point i'm £60 out of pocket so will probably not be able to purchase a licence from you (at least for the time being). So in effect you've lost out on a sale of a license agreement. Granted i wont have the benifit of the full version but the fact remains, the order i was going to place with you tomorrow will now no longer be placed due to the non compatibility with Vista.
Phil, just had a thought. You can install 2x operating systems on PC by the way. So in theory you can install XP on your new laptop but also retain Vista. IIRC when you boot up you can choose either system. Or i'm sure you can set the system to start Vista as default in the bios. But for those ocasions you want to use Vagcom you could go back into ypur bios startup options and choose XP. Worth a try surely? Dosnt even have to be XP, could probably pick up a very cheap version of win2000 etc.
