Darren.. if you have W7 ultimate, you can get XP mode from the MS site, that will let you install ELSAWin in a virtual copy of XP to run on your W7 box.
Also.. If anyone is looking for a netbook to run VAG-COM, etc on, the Dell outlet had a stack of Mini 10 units for about £150-160 delivered recently (purchase was vetoed )

Yes - but - only if you have one of the latest whiz bang intel CPUs with virtualisation features, otherwise you cant run MS Virtual PC.... Found this out the hard way, was really wanting the XP compatibiliy mode.. GGggrrr. !

Ian.. I'm running a 3 year old Athlon X2 and it works for me
![]() Guys, You could do it with VMWare Server (free) and create a virtual machine with XP in it. Or it may even run under WINE I tend to run stuff like ELSAWin under XP Virtual Machines, that way they don't install crap on my main install, but I am a techie.Let the geek wars begin ![]() Darren - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx should help you out.

As I've never owned a Vag-Com lead before can anybody tell me if it's a USB connector or other?

the newer 'proper' leads are USB.

So, could I use a second hand netbook or would I need more memory?

if you're running just XP, you could squeeze it in 512Mb, but 1Gb would be favourite.
