ETKA Help

[VR6 South 0]

I have been running the ETKA parts data CD ROM on my PC for a while, however since upgrading to XP the disc won't run because it asks for a validation code which I do not have. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm I hear that certain discs might have a crack file in, not that the Corrado Forum could condone piracy whatsoever :)

 

I have a 'friend' whose copy worked on XP.

I'm still confused. Do I use c/et prog/etka .exe in run programmes. If so it doesn't work :( . Sorry if I'm being stupid!

6 or 7 work fine in native XP mode, ETOS is better tho as you can get price updates over the web

Looks like I'll get a copy of ETOS. Thanks for the help.
