If you guys are looking to setup your computer for coding then I can help you out remotely.

My setup works on any windows platform as long as you have a working cable.

I had to connect the cord to USB port and get comp to recognize it before installing any disc. Is that what you did? I will install it again shortly and provide step by step what I have to do

I'm up and running and wandering around the software seeing a bunch of measurements that I don't have a clue if they are good or bad. Do you know of step by step instructions to go through the diagnostics with plus minus acceptable ranges?

I guess I'm the only one that had an extremely easy install with the Romanian software.

But I started from a fresh load of windows XP, on a laptop that is wiped clean (not sure if you are doing the same or not)

I did not have any unzipping software, just what he puts on his dvd's. I right clicked on the file on disc 1, selected copy, and pasted into the C drive. Then once I started the automatic installer after copying the 2nd file, it was all self explanatory from there.

You know the Romanian guy will remote to your computer if you are having troubles installing, right? If he designed it i'm sure he would know how to help, just send him a message on ebay.

Also, once you start installing the software after copying the files to the drive, you need a HW ID and key or passcode from him, which he sends to you via Ebay as well.


Sorry I can't be of much help but I literally followed the instructions to a T, using the automatic installer, and installed all the programs and got them running with no issues. But again, my laptop was clean windows install, hard drive was completely wiped, installed on a "fresh slate" if you will.

Make sure windows firewall is turned off as well, it causes all sorts of issues. I would also turn off the Wi-Fi (you don't need it when installing), if there is a million programs running and sending data I would imagine it would bog down the install.

I will try to have him remote my comp to help me out.

I used a clean laptop also and loaded the program on a new external drive. When I had trouble the seller seller sent me instructions that helped some but I had to do hours of trial and error to get it installed.

When I try some to read some of the diagnostics I get pop up messages that I have to click through until they go away before that screen will come up. It also blinks on the home page. It offers 2 N62 choices and I don't know which one I have. I have tried both and it looks like info is the same but I am not sure.

as an example of seeing information and not knowing what it means on the rough page are the cylinders supposed to be a zero or---

It's a used laptop i purchased off ebay, but its clean. It doesnt appear to have anything installed on it but the normal software.

Is the a list of within specified range the engine readouts should be somewhere?

What should the cylinder by cylinder rough scale +- range be?
