Default Some options may not work...

Glad to hear you've got something sorted. ElsaWin is worth its weight in gold, IMO. I tend to just leave it on the Workshop repair guide bit, as I think some of the other options require internet connectivity and of course, neither of us two are certified VAG mechanics or have the necessary login details!

The beauty of my VirtualBox install means that I can save the whole XP machine in its current state and it only takes a couple of seconds to return to where I left it last. Judging from what you've said, it looks like your version may be installed as a separate application so you'll have to start it each time.

One notable use for it was when I first tried to remove my foglights. Couldn't work out why the stupid thing wouldn't pull out of its slot in the bodywork, so had a quick look on ElsaWin and immediately saw that there was a plastic locating post, in addition to the two Torx headed screws that I'd already removed.
