So I received my scanner today and went to have a play around with it but every time I try to run it I get multiple 'Privileged Instruction Error' pop-ups.

I'm running it on a Vista laptop - anyone know what I'm doing wrong & how I can sort it?

Tried the right-click 'Run As' Administrator option?

Thanks Sanj, sorted it after a google search. Had to delete a setting in the registry.

sorry everyone, another scanner question

I've been able to scan for errors and clear a bunch of them successfully but can't seem to access any sub menus to change settings, reset service indicators etc.

I've googled and it appears that I need to solder pins 7 & 8 of the scanner - does anyone know if this is correct?

any help appreciated

There is a post on how to do it I think it's under 'General' Section

Evening all, Just a quick (maybe silly) question on the scanner 1.4.0, the versions i am looking at on the bay say ""Unlocked" functions to show possibilities of full version" does this mean it is just a trial or limited version? is the full version available to buy anywhere? Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Lummox

its this freely available sw that they package.

there is another version listed there, its $650!  :blink:

$650 "THUD" that was the sound of my arse hitting the deck, I think the 25 quid option off the bay will be the one i am prepared to make do with 

Lol the £25 option is fine. I've used mine to clear fault codes, diagnose, change settings and reset service indicators.

I have BMWScan 1.4 but can someone give me an ideas as to what other software can do ( e.g INPA ) that I can't do with BMWScan ?
