Speak to op on Jay on Facebook he sorted mine out on my laptop for a pittance and can do it remotely. Get yourself an obd2 connector they're not expensive. Does a wide range of vauxhalls so handy to have..

Buy off these guys http://op-com.weebly.com they are the best retailers for opcom and there customer support is just top notch and they make it work on windows 8 remotely :)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Im sure you could get an emulator to run windows 7 programes. I know it is how linux users run .exe files.

It's to do with the security in windows 8 you have to down load a new driver and run it through that as the windows security features see it s a threat and block it

It's worth the risk tbh for the sake of 15 quid, if you use it twice it's paid for itself with 5 quid in your pocket :lol:
