I'm right there with ya buddy, 25 years in IT, switched careers 2 yrs ago. but all the ultrasound machines I work on are all windows based and they all connect to a network.... so much for getting away from IT LOL. Last thing I want to do at home is TS some computer issue...Quote:

Just got the kit. Now where is the daughters hacker boyfriend.
I just got mine last week. Driver download load was straight forward, but as soon as I connected the unit to the laptop I got a "Hardware faulty" message. Been emailing and PMing Tony since Saturday but no reply
So I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled - same issue. I read about every thread this weekend and finally came across one in the thread (BMWCurves thanks) that was having errors but chose to plug it into the OBD port anyway. And it worked for him. So I shot out to my car - and mine worked too.
Gotta say though, there's quite a few who struggled to get this working. But glad I'm on the other side of it now
Nice to see that every time you do a scan, besides viewing it in the PA SOft tool, it also creates a new folder in the C:/BMWxx..... folder and stores the scan results for future reference
Mine worked just the same "Hardware Faulty" but worked when connected.
until Microsoft did an update on my laptop, now i can get it to connect.
I guess I need to reinstall
One of those windows 10 updates, updates/replaces all the USB drivers so yea, you may need to reinstall
As a data point for others, I've got an old Thinkpad that I use for this and it's still running XP SP3 that I'll probably never update to a newer OS
I work in the medical field, specifically ultrasound. 90% of the systems I work on are still running XP in the back end and the other 10% are running windows 7. Nobody wants Windows 8 and above
Hello Ebay, 1 laptop with XP please!Quote:
