Caenen Last edited by caenen; at 06:37 PM. Reason: additonal hardware information. Just joined the forum. Hope you wouldnt mind helping me. Ive got a copy of gt1/easydis. You will have to bear with me im very new to this. I installed all the software like the walkthru said, i had a problem where i got stuck at a screen where it said sizing memory and then lots of dots.

I restarted the install by remounting the 2 programs and it worked and i installed the dis. Everything was all good until i shut the vmware down. I changed the boot order back from booting from the cd to the original settings. Now the dis wont start up, it just comes up with the sizing memory and lots of dots. I changed the order again so it would boot from the cd but that doesnt make any difference. Just wondered if anyone has had this problem and if anyone knows the solution.

Really hope someone can help cos this is driving me crazy, and also my girlfriend cos i cant seem to put the laptop down!!

Shrift black star. Shatter, DIS v44 was released later than the build date for your car, so if you want to diagnose, code and program in one installation, v44 would be fine. EasyDIS was only released in a v39 and v44 version, but v44 is fine if you wish to instal DIS v57. Versions of DIS later than v44 however can only do diagnostics, so if you wish to code and program with a later version you will need to figure on installing PROGMAN as well.

Personally, I would avoid using pre-cooked versions of DIS sourced from eBay and the like as you will not actually know what settings have been used and most require use of a diaghead emulator, which is just another inconvenience. Hey David, First, ty for responding so fast. I hate to ask you more questions. I have EasyDis V.44, The inpa/ediapas cables on the way from ebay. A pcmcia RS232 serial port card for my lap, and the carsoft interface cable on the way.

As far as I know, I have all the necessary equipment to be able to hook up to my car and pull codes, diagnose, program, etc. I will be doing a tranny auto>manual swap. Now part of the swap involves reprogramming the car.
