Is anyone with a scantool made by guys on this board using Windows 7? I sold mine and trying to help the person who bought it. I did not have windows 7 so did not have issues.

Thanks.

Using Scantool and "Rennlist" interface kit on Windows 7 / Core i3 laptop. Only had to set com port, everything else worked straight out of box, including adaption. (No more stalling )

AFAIK, It's a very simple application. What is the error you are getting? Does it run? or does it run but not connect to the tool you are using? I have always had success with it in Win 95, 98 and 7

is there a secret about getting it to work with VISTA? I havent been able to get it to work on my VISTA laptop.

gonna hijack the thread cause I'm the guy he is trying to help. I can not see the root directory to install the program. no .ini file present.

smokey, so I guess you got your engine? Details please? Unless I missed the thread.

Make sure the path is set for the ini file, or run it from within that directory.

no no motor just yet....just trying to set up the scantool on my computer in preperation for its arrival (very soon)


frustration....thought I knew enough about a computer to get by....maybe not...going to talk to a comp tech I know (also a gearhead) he can help...but I also ran across a deal on a bosch KTS-300 with the porsche module and cables gonna buy it since its too sweet of a deal to pass up.

Your passion is commendable

woo hoo....finally I got a tech friend over...I can see root folders now....I see the ini file....it is installed and works on my comp...thank you everyone who tried to help but I guess it was some setting somewhere that I knew nothing about.
