Okay so what I had to do was uninstall the disc from when I tried to load it the other day, before I tried downloading the repack.
Then I downloaded the repack.iso correctly.
All of it downloaded successfully this time, all of the icons are back on the screem (all in one, admin, config, vida on web).
So I go to download the patch, I download it, go to the file, click it, load to c:\ , install, then a black box appears and says tskill.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command
then it goes away. Is this what it is supposed to do?

I tried logging into Vida all in one as administrator, i go to type the login and it will not type anything into the box. I cannot copy and paste into the Username: box or type, it just wont take it.
So I went to google, found someone that said they had the same problem before installing the patch. So Obviously I have missed something again....

Keep the RePack put the other one away. Way away from your hard drive.

Which Patch? There is more then one, 2014A-B-D-2099 is the only one for you to use.

tskill.exe is a artifact from Windows XP, ignore the error it does not hurt anything.

You need to stop taking advice from all over the place. Not all Vida distros are the same. Your making scrambled eggs when you should be making over easy.

I haven’t touched the disk since I first got it. It’s been back in its box for the past 3-4 days where it will stay.

The patch from your link 2014A-B-C-D2099
If the takill.exe is a non issue, then the patch should be installed...

I also did not touch the 5th folder, only 1-4 on repack.iso.

Thanks, I know I’m about to get this....almost there....maybe today will be the day I can read the codes on my car hahah

Thank you for all of your help so far!

I went to the link but only got some Chinese blog site. How do I get the software for windows 10?

It is not a blog it is a file listing. Click here to read it in English.

1. You need to have a bitorrent client installed that can handle Magnetic links.
2. You click on the Magnetic link: to start the download.

If you don't already have a bitorrent client installed, I suggest qBittorrent. It is free and does not have the racy ads uTorrent has .. qBittorrent has no ads at all.

Okay so I added the torrent software and downloaded the Windows 10 software. The software loads and opens but will not see the dice. I bought a VXDIAG from Amazon which is advertised to be better than the old dice. Not sure if there is another way or avenue to get it to work?
I can order a Chinese VIDA from EBAY if that is the route to take?

Im also trying this install, but while running the second script the vida software part fails. The other 2 parts say ok but the vida part sais couldnt install.
I'm gonna try a fresh install to see if I'm missing something but the instructions are pretty clear. Anybody have a similar problem?

I know this is old but I just ordered this and want it to work with Windows 10. Can I still find the links? Some of them didn't work.

Help!
