Laptop Scanner/Programmer?
My old handheld Auto X-Ray has run out of updates for anything after 2002. Got a new laptop and wondering what would be a good PC based program to get?

The best laptop scanner that I know of for the money is AutoEnginuity with the Ford Enhancement license.
It won't allow you to upload engine programs though. The only thing that I could think of along those lines and also doing scanning is DashDAQ-PC, but you'll have to buy the mongoose seperate and those get quite expensive.

Leaning towards the AutoEnginuity. DashDaq-PC doesn't support Windows 7 64 bit and I don't understand pricing structure. Software is cheap, mongoose is ridiculous. Doesn't look like there is an option to just diagnose, and later upgrade to programming/reflash. Might give them a call.

The virtual XP doesnt work all that well. Its an emulator, and thats it. Its not true windows XP.

It's like running Parallels on a mac to have Windowns boot up.
It depends on what industry you are using it in. Using it for Corel Draw, Roland equipment and/or my embroidery machines it works very well for software and/or plugins that aren't up to snuff for Win 7(especially for 64 bit).
