questions about running old automotive programs
Ive got a few issues running some old automotive programs. Ive got a ford tuner program that is only supported by windows xp. I tried to run it on my windows 7 no luck. So I bought a old computer off a guy at work with xp and works flawlessly. (it is pretty complicated alone as I had to enable drivers and do a bunch of stuff I barely know how to do) Anyways I got it to work tuned a few cars good to go.
Now I just picked up a series 1 AEM stand alone ecm with the program called AEMPRO which is only supported yet again by windows xp. It is capable of real time changes to engine fueling and timing but the battery on my old crusty 2nd hand xp capable computer only lasts 5 min.
Ive also got a few other programs that are xp only and need a solution.
Id like to buy a brand new computer with xp that I can use on the internet without corrupting.
Ive attempted to use a vitual machine on my toshiba satelite originally and I almost fired the thing was so slow. So that was a terrible idea. I love the idea of getting an apple and using a vitual machine of xp on it. Honestly id love a xp apple computer. So it can run my stuff and not get bogged virused up from surfing car forums....
Anybody got a good solution to that problem.
