Many moons ago, I bought a VIDA Dice from China for my V70.
All has been well, until the old Lenovo S10-2 running XP that I used for VIDA died.
It ran Vida-2012.
My new laptop is a Windows 8.1 machine (yes, I am a Windows 10 Refusenik, but I do wear all required Biohazard Level 4 gear when venturing out to the market)
I find that the linked packages do not install - the "2014D Direct Installer.7z" dies, and the 2nd file of the set uploaded to "Mega" simply does not exist.
There was a Vmware package that I installed and played with, but I removed it on the grounds that I had a nice transflective display on the S10-2, so it was more useful in daylight.
The CD/DVD drive that works on Win XP does not work on my Win 8.1 laptop at all, so, while I have a disk, I need a downloadable version. Can anyone help an old guy to Vida his Volvo?

Re: Need To Re-Install VIDA, But no CD-Drive! Topic is solved
The download of an image that included both the VIDA and the environment required to run under VMWARE was the solution here.

Hi Packetfire! Am interested in the VIDA but the download link I found for it from a GoogleDrive says it has exceeded download limits. Any chance you could post a link to your source for the download? Thanks.
