Hi x man i used the same instructions as you but still have the problem of error message appearing over and over again with a beeping noise, my friend has the same proplem on his computer with windows xp, he thinks the problem is he hasent got service pack 3, so he is going to download it and try again, will let you know how we get on.

Hi has anyone managed to download scanner 1.4.0 software and drivers on to windows 7

Are you getting the error during install or after it's installed and trying to run it? I seem to recall I had a similar issue trying to run the program after installing it and it not working. I plugged it into obd port and ran software and it worked. That was on my car laptop which runs vista business.

From memory you double click on ike and then open coding or reprogram or something assuming your looking for aux heating. Have you tried 12v to pin one... Not many work as aux heater for one reason or another that I'm still trying to solve

I've got scanner 1.4.0 working on my Windows 7 ultimate netbook. I can't remember how I did it but it definitely works

I think if you go to device manager with the scanner plugged in to the X5 you should be able to update the driver from the ones supplied on the cd.
