Vag Com Won't Work

[diffeyp]

Hi All

 

Have had VAG COM running on XP laptop for several years, but computer has broken.

 

Have tried to get it running on Vista and Windows 7 machines without success. On the Vista machine it loads ok and appears to work when plugged into the car but crashes as soon as you select a scan or module. On the Windows 7 machine it won't open at all.

 

Any suggestions greatfully received.

 

If I need a newer version, is it possible to just get hold of the disc as the cable is fine.

 

Thanks

For full product, if you have a real ross-tech cable you can download updates free for the life of the cable. (from ross-tech.com who are the developers)

 

If you have an ebay cable you can download the latest vcds-lite free from the same place. I did this and it works fine on a samsung q210 laptop running vista home premium.

 

If you have a registered version of vcds-lite iirc, updates are free but you can only change the pc it runs on once, then you have to buy a new licence.
