Hello, I'm trying to install Diagbox v.7.855 on my laptop with windows 10 64bit.
I've bougth this version from easydiagnostic and the programm works (on a virtual machine with windows xp) but I can not connect the actia device because windows 10 doesn't recognize it. (attached a photo with the message shown by windows)
The Actia device is a copy, not the original one. It works in my other pc with windows 7, but that pc is too slow.
Is there any chance to download a driver for windows 10?
Thank you.

Re: Actia Problem
Not recommended and why it’s best avoided on Windows 10 64 because of the driver issue.

Re: Actia Problem
Hi jumper,
I got round both your problems, speed of Windoze 7 and compatibility of Dimdoze 10, by downloading AOMEI(free version) and using ‘Windows to go’ to install a bootable copy of Windoze 7 32bit on a USB stick (32Gig - £10 at Tesco). This takes up about half the room once all of the Diagbox updates are installed.
Dimdoze 10 will also do this but you end up with a copy that defers to the main Operating System of the computer used, so can fall over in Diagbox.
There are places to download AOMEI without registering, if that makes any difference to you.
Using this bootable USB stick go through the installation of win 7 32bit. You can either use windows with a key, or a trial version that will stop after a month.
Either way, it doesn’t interfere with your Operating system unless you tell it to. By default it doesn’t enable virtual memory, so for speed and stability reasons change in advanced settings virtual memory to point to a hard disk. Win7 SP1 has net-framework 3.51 as standard. Earlier versions need this installed, and now that Microshaft has stopped supporting Win 7 this may be a problem.
Obviously you need to change the BIOS boot order to USB flash drive no 1. That way if the USB stick is inserted your laptop will boot to Win7 32bit. If not, it will boot to Win 10. No boot programs or options needed.
Slightly slower than a hard disk install, but, if the laptop has USB3 available hardly any speed difference
