Hi,

I saw the thread about Windows 7 working, when SCal is put in Compatibility Mode, but trying this on my new Windows 7 64bit machine I cannot get a connection to the ECU.
I've tried various compatibilty modes including XP SP2 & XP SP3, Vista, Vista SP2 & Vista SP3
SNetServer will run in some fo the compatibility modes, but no network adaptors are ever found.

I am using the software downloaded from this forum.

Any ideas Pat?

The recommended solution for the moment is to install Windows XP 32 bit and run the software on that. On my own laptop I am running Ubuntu Linux in 64 bit mode on a Core i7 CPU but get the required XP 32 bit environment courtesy of Sun VirtualBox, which is a free download from here. It is available for many hosts, and does include USB support and accelerated OpenGL from the guest OS.

Hope this helps,

Pat.

I will be trying VirtualBox on a Windows 7 64bit install tomorrow, I will let you know how it goes.

Hi Wez, downloaded Virtual box, see you tomorrow

Cheers

A big thank you to Wez:)

All working and connecting fine using XP via Virtual Box on a Win 7 64bit OS.

I'll leave Wez to explain any technical bits!

Indeed it does, worked a treat with WinXP SP2 installed into a small virtual machine. Only thing required is the network has to be set to bridged not NAT under network options on the virtual machine.

I also installed the VirtualBox support pack
