VIDA DICE setup 2014d wanted- working

Anth

I'm looking for a working and reliable Vida/Dice 2014d setup that's all ready to go installed on a laptop. I don’t have time to do research, I just want to plug it in and work

My mate purchased one from UK – did not go well!! I'm located in Sydney and prefer to buy locally.

Alternatively

I have a spare win10 pro desktop(in my garage)

Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers.

In my experience that's not how it goes. I started on Windows 7 and still have a laptop with a working setup…however IE no longer works and there have been several security updates which kill the DICE connection.

VIDA 2014D was an absolute pain to get working - it works (mostly) on my Win 7 and Win 10 laptops, but there are 2 other laptops which I could not get a working install on. I don't know why. Windows 10 I now have to use Chrome with workarounds, or Edge in IE mode which usually works.

My point is that even if you bought a working setup, unless you never updated it (and I suspect even then), the system will probably need tweaking in the future to keep it running. Just like the Volvos themselves, ongoing maintenance is required.

I bought an ebay DICE which happens to work perfectly, and have plenty of experience muddling through installation guides and typical issues. I even have a few bootable USB based systems which work if you have plenty of patience - they're very slow. You're welcome to pick my brains or test using my DICE for comparisons etc. I'm on Northern Beaches (home) or Western Suburbs (work).

Don't get me wrong - I'd like an install which just works out of the box too. That's just unrealistic in my experience…

Running Vida on a pre-configured virtual machine downloaded from Volvodiag.com is easiest way to do it

Thanks for the advice

I am still interested in buying a ready setup if anyone has a spare. I prefer a Window 7 pro setup with a laptop exclusively used for this purpose

Thanks

I use a Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Never updated, never connected to the internet. Has worked for years using an AliExpress Dice. The only thing I had to change on the program was the subscription date. I changed it to 2050.

I bought an AliExpress VX Diag (similar to DICE) and have used it on a few computers. Using the Virtual Machine version is the easiest and avoids some issues with updates.
