search for the *.pdf file on the first cd and follow the instruction.

your LAN id must match with the license key. you know your license key? (i bet you don't).

so without a lan id and key I basically bought 2 coasters that say mercedes on them?

So if mine are useless does anybody know where i can get FULLY functional EPC cds that will work on XP? I have several benz that need stuff here and there which is why i got these cds.

You need to have both CDs loaded simultaneously in order for the EPC to run. If you don't have two active CD-ROM drives, you'll need to use CD-ROM emulator software. I use an offering from Paragon Software. Just download the trial version and follow the simple instructions.

sleepwalker -- the U.S. version is much smaller and easier to deal with than the European version -- I know -- I have both versions up and running on different machines.

i have all the original version from germany. they send it to me every 4 months.

for as long as you have a 20 g hard disk, you don't need to use the dvd anymore. use the hard disk cache.

i got a WIS, STAR DIAGNOSIS and EPC key generator too.

What do you do with all that good stuff? Are you in the Benz business?

Ok i put both cds in at the same time and they copied onto my pc.Now when i go to open it doesnt do anything.uninstall and reinstall several times....same deal.
I have never had this much trouble before with EPC's.I have the newest BMW ETK and Porsche PET6 installed without a sweat.Could I have gotten bad cds?

Do you have any spare cds laying around that I might be able to acquire?
