I tried what I could do. Which may not have been everything but for the average joe its a head kcuf. Shouldnt have to be a 20yr veteran computer programmer hacker technician to get it to work. I tried compatibility mode and as administrator. Cant run virtual PC from home version windows 7. Upgrading windows 7 to required model was more costly than getting an XP machine. Wont work easily with windows 7. My computer skills are average on a good day. I bought a 2nd hand lappy off ebay, cost less than a $100. Should fix my problem. I pulled my stereo out to dynamat the car and make tweeter pods and new boot install. Hopefully have it running again around x-mas to try it out
