On the windows 7 ultimate you have the option of running things in XP Mode, this allows you to run things from the start menu as though they are normal programs but they are actually run on a "virtual machine" running XP professional. If your computer will not run XP Mode then just install the virtual machine program from Microsoft and away you go.....

Xp Mode from Microsoft is available here

Should do had problems installing it before on vista but tried again and works ok maybe changed something in the updates?

Right click, properties, Compatability, run in compatability mode.

Trouble is I dont even haxe an ICON to click on. I can see the whole lot/program files sitting in explorer but have no "click" to get it working, lots of "xxxx.exe" but non of them seem to do anything???????????

Don't instal it, just copy the whole lot to your C drive.
In C, ETKA, Prog folder there should be a file called ETKA.exe.
Copy that to your desktop.
then, right click on it (when it's on your desk top) and properties, compatability, run in compatability of windows XP.

That's how i got this to work.

I have just updated to the new 7.3 plus.......and I have it running on windows 7 without the need for the XP Mode......and finally got the price list to update too

I've got v7.2. Can someone share how to get v7.3 and updated?

where/how do you guys get ETKA in the first place?

Do a search on eBay....'VW EPC'
