Techauthority Disc issues

[wing]

2008 Service Information Disc, ZB-Viper, Publication No. 81-270-08030CD will not open on windows 8. Will open on windows 7 only to the main menu. Have followed directions and downloaded viewer. Used to work. Any suggestions?

Can you run a Virtual PC / Windows XP on Windows 8? That's what I currently use in Windows 7 to open the manual.

I have the '09 disk and it will only work on Windows XP or me. I called Techauthority for help and they told me they could not offer me any tech support since I was not the original purchaser of the CD. HUH??? Seriously?? I bought my '09 Viper brand new and you can't even tell me what software will read this disk on a Windows 7 machine??? Sorry, we can only give support to the original purchaser of the CD.

Thankfully I still have an old laptop with XP on it or I'd be SOL. I'll have to try the virtual PC thing.

"XPS Viewer" should allow your disk to work. I had to download this viewer for the CD to work on Windows 7.

What kind of data disc is it? ISO? file disc? If it just a file to click on, what type of file is it? I have no idea how these disc were burned on. I probably can help you all out to run the disc on all windows.

I will try that for sure!

Dragging this back. XPS Viewer will not read this CD. Anyone have a solution that really works besides virtual pc?

Internet explorer with the adobe SVG viewer plugin (on cd and installed from the HTML start page) should do it. Well that's what i use on Win 7, cant get it to work with chrome or Firefox though, although haven't really tried hard as it works fine with IE and i have that installed anyway, just have to remember to switch back to IE when i want to look at the SM and that usually happens 20 seconds after clicking on the bookmark in firefox!
