what version of windows are you running? and where did you get the VIDA from
are you running it directly on the OS or by using a virtual machine this is the link I used: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e...i3cpHBdsZa/pub for installing directly onto windows 10 with a VCX device (not a 'dice') It does require knowing how to torrent for the downloads It may/may not work with actual dice hardware, I can't answer that It may or may not work with windows 11, also no idea sorry Last edited by stuart bowes; Sep 9th, 2022 at 15:33. |

well without having a connection device yet (vcx/dice) it's hard to advise which version to go with
for now, if you're just using it as a reference tool (you can put in your VIN and look at part numbers / diagrams / workshop instructions) all I can suggest is putting whatever you downloaded away in a file in case you want to go back to it, uninstall whatever you did so far, forget virtual machines and just go with the link I added in above scroll about halfway down (ignore all the VCX stuff) and find 'installing VIDA' and go from there the links for torrent downloads are all at the bottom to start with you should only need VIDA2014D_RePack.ISO 2014A-B-D-2099.zip the others aren't necessary just to get the software working login username is 'admin' if you don't know what a torrent is (sorry if this is sucking eggs) google search 'qbittorrent' and go to downloads, get that installed and everything else should be pretty straight forward later on, if you do find a VCX, you can add the other bits to get that working with that software. I've seen people say that VCX can be iffy (and they don't work with VDash either) but I got one and it works without any fuss at all Last edited by stuart bowes; Sep 9th, 2022 at 17:44. |

Where that ends up on your pc depends how you set the torrent software up look in the options menu for download locations After that is just a case of following the instructions step by step |
