    I have a CTEK MXS10 which has a "Supply" mode. Should be fine for what I need to do. I am pretty sure last time I had it connected I was on 12.5 with no drama. I will charge and maintain the battery for a few days before I get a chance to hook up. I have an MY20 Discovery Sport 240HSE now as...

    Yep, I went through the set up and did that first. It is a bit slow for Windows to load but once it is running the SDD seems to be fine. I will see how it goes once I connect to my RRS . I need to figure out how to run CCF editor as well.. some more playing to do there :) the Macbook Air works...

    I bit the bullet and downloaded Fusion 13 for personal use and loaded it up along with the required VM onto my 2013 Macbook Air and without tweaking it at all it fired straight up.. very impressive. now I just need to hook up to my RRSport and see what I can do to resolve my 3 amigos :) Well...

    Well, looks like my Laptop has a major issue.. twice now it has shut down showing a nice blue screen with a Machine Check Exemption which apparently means a major hardware error... it was dirt cheap so it is to be expected I guess. Hmmm suggestions now being taken for a suitable Laptop to run...

    I have now done a full clean install of Windows 10 and running the download all over again. I have also ordered some new RAM to bring it up to 8g. There seems to be mixed info on what VMWare 17 player needs... so I have gone for 8gb as that is the max my laptop will run. I am not sure why the...

    Tried it again yesterday and these are the only snapshots I could get... then the laptop wouldnt run again for some reason. I dropped the original 360gb HDD back in and am cloning it back to the SSD again. I will leave it on Win7 Pro for now and try again later. The BIOS shows Intel...

    It was always too quick to screenshot it...I havent had a chance to re-install VMWare yet... hopefully that resolves the issue but if it continues I will let you know.

    Well I managed to get hte 75gb download.. but unfotunately when I go to open the VM it comes up as a fatal error.. so I have uninstalled VMWare and later this week I will re-install it and see how it goes....

    I have no doubt it will. It is just taking forever to download the 75Gb main file. Maybe a few people are downloading the file as it just seems to be taking a long time. I guess patience will prevail :)

    Ok so I have bitten the bullet and updated my laptop to Windows 10 Pro and am following the steps needed to run the VM. Now I am just waiting on the 80 odd GB downlod for the full VM file, hopefully it all works as it should :)

    OK, I finally managed to get my SDD operational...I think. I have a message on the main page that says Software updates have not been performed so functionality has been disabled... and when I click on the perform updates hyperlink the page comes up, I run the VCM update tool but there are no...

    Once connected and with at least 12.5v showing on SDD how long should it take to go through the testing of all systems? Mine seems to hang for ages.... I will try it again tomorrow night and time it..

    Seems this isnt a very active thread... I guess I will have to try and work though my issues by myself.

    OK, so partially successful first attempt at connecting to the car. VIN was read fine but when I set it to measurement it crashed half way through testing the modules. I attempted to run it again but man is it slow to go through testing regime... some came up with errors, mostly not getting any...

    Hmmm so a few issues with the install... First up the vcredist didnt load as my laptop is x64bit OS, the file on the download is only x86. I do have the CD that came with my Mongoose cable which has the x32, x64 file. I continued with the installation (probably should have stopped there but...)...

    Thanks for that. The Laptop arrives today and it is Win7 x64 Home Premium so it should be fine. Now I just need to get my head around the downloads etc needed such as the as Built files etc. It has been a while since I did any of this stuff.

    Is anyone able to comment on my post above? I now have access to both Windows 10 laptop and a Windows 7 laptop but want to know which one will suit the best. The Windoww 7 (Home Premium) laptop is arriving today and I need to get started on sorting the issues I have with my RRSport that my GAP...

    New online here and have just downloaded from the elatest link. Will this work fine on Windows 10 Pro or should I revert back to Windows 7? It is a stand alone laptop that doesnt worry me which version of windows I use. Great thread by the way... lots of good info.
