thank you folks, I have an email to my son about the .NET Framework and hopefully we can give that a shot before I spring for another Vida unit. I will perservere. You know, the 2007 V70 NA is really a nice looking car. I've done all the servicing on it (much of it thanks to the tips and tutorials o...

We've tried three different computers - just to see if it would recognize the hardware and none of them actually detect the DICE unit when it's connected, blue and green lights flashing repeatedly. Think I should give up on this DICE unit. After struggling with the software side, I though the hardwa...

on VM i never communicate with succes

Don't quite follow....are there some other steps I need to take to get the VM to recognize/communicate with DICE? Is it not just a sort of 'plug-and-play' setup?

So it's now a month or so later. I sent my computer to my son in Chicago and it got stolen. He purchased another computer with 4 gigs of RAM and after struggling with multiple OS's and different versions of VIDA he finally folded and downloaded a canned virtual machine with VIDA preinstalled. The vi...

Hello All, So at the suggestion of my computer expert son, I sent my new/used computer I paid $175 to my son in Chicago with the software. Unfortunately, although USPS indicates in the tracking that it was "left in or at the mailbox", it is nowhere to be seen. My son is now in a frenzy (I ...

I believe you also need 4GB of Ram, at least 40GB of memory, Windows 7 Pro (what Volvo recommends), and INTERNET EXPLORER 8. IE8 was something that was causing me problems too. Also-- I have had to move the plug from USB port to USB port from time to time. (I'm a Mac guy-- these PCs throw me off-- I...

Good Afternoon,

I uninstalled two NET FRAMEWORK in the Microsoft system but still no go. I don't see any Vida updates icon or program to delete. I'm back to square one.

As I first indicated, it may be that the software that I have is faulty. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

Marty

Good Morning,

Besides being computer challenged, I'm also frustrated. I meant VIDA/Dice. Nothing to do with VADIS.

Hello All, Yesterday I purchased a new/used computer to be dedicated to VADIS/DICE and even though I'm computer challenged, got some help from the seller to load the software that I got from Alibaba last November shortly after we got our 2007 V70. I believe he installed Win 8 with 3 GB Ram and 32 bi...

Could be condensation in the oil. This time of year, my cars develop a lot of glop in the pcv system. In any case, you can test for exhaust gas in the coolant with a test analyzer and fluid. I think you an borrow the equipment at Advance and purchase the fluid. Prob $10 or so. Good luck. Marty Proud...
