I just got a asus mini laptop for 150 bucks. It works perfectly and makes it so i don't have to use parallels.

Mine still won't play consistently. When you shut it down and restart everything it gives me the same message. You have to relaunch it again. Silly.

I just tried to get the latest Durametric running on a Mac with a new cable I just purchased from them.

Mac is on Big Sur latest OSX.
I tried:
VirtualBox with Windows 10
VirtualBox with Windows XP
Parallels with Windows 10
For these three combinations, I got the tool installed, .NET installed, USB drivers installed, and Durametric app launching and got a few basic interactions working, but after 1 or 2 interactions it froze.
Anyone solved a problem like this intermittent freezing on OSX via virtualisation?

Next steps are either BootCamp or buying cheap windows laptop. I have a work one, so I could bring that home and make sure my cable and car are all good.
