[QUOTE="hky, post: 499146, member: 2079"] Hi, I manage to get the BMW Scanner to work on Win 7 64-bit. There are 2 ways to go about it Option 1 Install VMWare Workstation, then create a Virtual Machine (VM) and install Windows XP, You will need to attached the USB Scanner to the VM for it to be detected. Pro - easy to install, Con - you will need to get a license copy, unless .... Option 2 Install XP Mode with Virtual PC on the Win 7 64-bit, you can download both from here [url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx[/url] Once you have installed both, then you will need to run Windows XP Mode under Windows Virtual PC. This will start up a Win XP inside the Win 7, then just go ahead and install the BMW Scanner and attach the USB Scanner. Pro - No additional license required and you don't need to install Win XP, its already there after installation of the XP Mode, Con - the files are a few hundred megs [/QUOTE]
