Default Elsawin

Hi
Just bought a copy of Elsawin off ebay. All loaded OK and I can get all the text from all of the various bits but I cannot get any diagrams. There is a little box with a red x in and a number which relates to the diagram. The Diagrams are all there because they can be looked at with windows explorer in the elsawin tree. I've loade all of the ad ons,adobe etc but still no piccy's I've been in touch with the guy who sold me it he has been as helpful as he can but we cannot crack it. Any computer wizards out there who could shed some light or some suggestions.

Thanks

I installed ElsaWin a long time ago and had a similar problem. Turned out you had to install a old version of Acrobat Reader, ver 4 if I can remember as this is what it uses to display the diagrams

hi guys ive bought 2 copies off different sellers on e-bay neither of which work i have been told i need to alter the date on my computer to make it work the other just wont work the seller stated moey back guarantee but wont answer e-mails, i have een told by an i.t. guy tht theses are pirate copies and due to the fact they need internet connecton to work VAG could trace them back and i would be in big trouble, dont know if this is true, i reckon were being duped by theses sellers. i have now bought a Gendan scanner and use the discs as coasters Kevin

Have a look on the disc for a setup program called svgviewer and install, all should be ok!

I think I have the answer to the problems of installing Elsawin:

try to install it on A pc with A HDD with A 80Gb space and the install will work

I think the HDD may not be larger of 80Gb of space,I have installed it on 3 PC's with 80Gb HDD and had no problem,when I installed it on A HDD of 120 Gb the problems begins.

best regards TG1

Did you get 3 CD/DVD's of elsawin, install and two data CD/DVD's?

Normal process is to install the installation CD/DVD and then copy the other two CD/DVD's to a folder on your computer then run the setup program from that folder or it won't copy the diagrams.

Are there any instructions from within the elsawin install folder?

The size of the HDD should'nt affect how it works, it's more likely down to the version of acrobat. I've had 2 versions now & both work fine.

Just make sure you read the installation instructions down to a T & it should be fine. (usually a text file on one of the disks)

I had probs with the trial period on the first one, but it was down to me not installing it properly...

Hi Matt,

(i tried to PM you, but it doesn't seem to work and i ended up leaving a 'visitor message' by mistake - no idea what that is or whether you'll get it!)

I noticed that you seem to know a bit about Elsawin. I have just obtained a copy (v3.6) and am having trouble getting it going. I have installed the client and the Audi DVD, and all seemed to go OK. i have logged onto the admin program and created a username & pwd as well as the admin one. I then tried to load the client, but when it loads i get the note screen OK, but then get a bunch of faults: failed to loads infoPASS, infoSNK, infoHS2, infoWT, infoSLP, infoWWW, infoAU, infoRL, infoKi2, infoIGG, and infoSAZ.

When the main program comes up with the 10-or so cirlucar icons, whenever i click on any of them, it just comes up with 'failed to create empty document' and stays on the main screen.

Any ideas how I may be able to fix this? Many thanks!
