[Pitbull69]

looking for a Diagnostic scanner with live data and stuff, so far I have found this one

has anybody used this, or got any recommendation for a better/different one

nope it won't work with windows7, nor will it work with the virtual XP (included with win 7).

What you need to do is set up a partition on your drive and have a copy of Win XP installed. That's the only way I'm afraid!

the seller told me it does work with windows 7 so I purchased it last night...:wall::wall:

if only my kids didnt destroy our old win Xp laptop :n:

I'll eat my own week old pants if it works with win7. It takes ages to install but will appear okay and then once you get going it'll fail.

Im in the process of setting up a guide giving a complete overview and installation procedure in fact due to the troubles I had

thanks at least when it doesnt work I wont be thinking I have done something wrong

I might look into partitioning my laptop if I can do it without loosing what's already on there, its got a 750 gig HD so its got plenty of room to loose some

[Barry123]

In fact sod it, I've got a free day so I'll finish it off today...
