I have Actia :)

Post by TopDonkey »

I got fed up trying to diagnose my fans not working, so i just bought an actia interface and cables complete with peugeot planet and lexia software (latest versions)

Trouble is that both my laptops run windows 7 64bit and it wont install, has anyone with actia had any success installing it to windows 7 ?, or am i best off dual booting a copy of XP ?

If you have a copy of XP 32 bit then yeh, just dual boot with that.

I tried that and it still doesnt work, so i formatted my laptop and installed windows XP with sp2 and tried again, and it still fails, so i tried it on my desktop xp computer and it fails on that too.

I know the interface works because i can run lexia for citroens and that works perfectly, so i think i have a duff copy of peugeot planet, got to see if i can find a working copy of it now
