Hi All


I previous installed DiagBox from an eBay's vendor's DVD which contained all the Updates from V7.02 onwards a .iso file (i.e. the DVD image) for v7.02 setup.
I burned the .iso file to a blank DVD. I then used that DVD to run the setup program.
It installed correctly after a long time under Windows XP with me telling the AVG firewall to allow all (just a few) files. I activated DiagBox using the manual method with customer code 1234567, the filled in boxes left alone, and the * boxes entered.

After activation completed, it said 'Internet updates' failed to load, so I closed DiagBox, copied C:\AWRoot\bin\fi\APPDIAG.SYS to a safe place and ran DiagBox program again (i.e. the new program that Windows XP spotted).
The following happened:
It checked Comms followed by Verification of Activation before displaying a window saying "Access to the vehicle communication card inoperable, validate to try again or Cancel to ignore": trying again gave the same.

I then tried to uninstall DiagBox (using the program setup by the install procedure) in order to follow the tutorial on this site. But it crashed: screen shot attached. Any ideas on what to do?

PS I've tried to install DiagBox 7.02 by following the tutorial but that crashes: screenshot attached.

first of all, you don't need to burn a DVD, just use daemon tool or virtual iso.
Delete everything, supress Diagbox in registry using regcleaner.

Do another set up on another computer, it will be ok or try another time. You got this message when the laptop had been shut down during the installation.
