Title: Re: is this any good?
Post by: Waffs1984 on 22 May 2009, 08:25: Well mine "did" work but only once, must admit i havn't tried sagain since... I'm guessing right-click and run it in "windows XP compatibility mode" might solve it, will have to have a go when i get a spare 5 mins. In the meantime if anyone can shed any mor elight on the freeware vagcom/vista issue it would be most appreciated! :wink:

As above and if this doesn't work then you can install MS Virtual PC ( can't do it on Vista Basic ) and then install a em "legal" version on XP in there... you should then be able to use the software in the Virtual XP
