Merged Lexia & Diagbox threads

[MikeT]

Yes, got that Mike, I really don't know what else to suggest, I still think the Netbook hardware maybe borderline. Shame you can't put it to the test by installing on another system.

Just to update, I think you're on the right track Marc. The netbook must be lacking in either hardware or software, I've not been able yet to determine which but I'm hoping it's the latter as monitoring the resources when the fault occurs shows no spikes or other tells the hardware can't keep up, it simply refuses to proceed, waiting for something.

Taking your advice, I've since managed to install Diagbox v7.65 and both Citroen and Peugeot Dockbackup/Sedre on the not-so-portable laptop as a virtual XP box. All's working as expected so I at least have a backup option (once I find the cigarette lighter power adapter for it!).

Hi Guy's
For one reason or another I have given up on trying to get my Lexia to work with my car ( 2011 1.6 e-hdi egs6 ).I know what you are telling me to do but pension won't stretch that far just of late and know the bill for the gear box who know's.
Keep up the good work Guy's.

Trying to install lexia 3 absolute ballache on a Acer netbook , running xp
Any hints on best version etc

[GiveMeABreak]

First thing is back to basics - netbooks are not the best devices for running this - they generally don't have the resources needed to run Diagbox well.
1) What spec, CPU, RAM and Graphics card do you have?
2) What version of Diagbox do you have and how far have you got with the installation and lastly:
3) What issues are you having?

Intel atom n570 1.66ghz dual core
2gb ram
320gb HDD

Basic Intel graphics

Its an eee PC battery lasts forever (genuinely)

Using lexia 3 v45

For use with xsara picasso

For Diagbox the CPU recommendation for Diagbox is usually 2GHz or higher - I assume this is a stand alone installation of Lexia.. Most of us here use Diagbox now, that contains Lexia embedded within, which will launch automatically if required.

Great I have a Alienware gaming laptop but running windows 10 64x will that install diagbox and which is the best version to download seems like there is loads

[GiveMeABreak]

No, you can't install it on a 64 Bit system Sutty, unless you have a virtual machine set up running a 32 bit version of XP or Windows 7. Lexia is a 16 Bit app and won't run under a 64 bit OS unless in a VM as mentioned.
Now I make no promises that it will work on your Netbook system, but I have the Diagbox V7 files if you want to have a go. They are quite large, but let me know via PM and I'll get you the instructions and the links.

[MikeT]

As attested earlier Sutty, I have diagbox (currently v7.65) running on an Acer netbook with similar spec to yours. It does most of what I want without a problem, a bit slow at times but that's to be expected with any apps, even the OS itself on such a low-grade spec. The biggest problem I've found is that lexia won't graph and show recorded live data but otherwise, no isssues that I'm aware of and, as you say, the battery life is several hours.

[sutty86]

Right managed to get lexia on have faults on anti lock brakes and injection,aircon
Cannot get into injection though , I click on validate ecu and it just hangs
Might have to try diagbox
