Anyone Used The Alpine Imprint Software From Pxa-H100 Processor?

[knoles]

Hi guys

I've just installed my alpine PDA-h100 imprint module to my car and can't get the farkin imprint software to work on my computer. It brings up a fault when I first open it. "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled"

Need some help before I smash my puter >:-(

Thanks

hi mate,

im not sure as I havent cranked my pxe-660 yet, but my recommendation would be to contact the alpine website, and look at the faq's or help forum...

good luck. let us know how you go...

Well I googled the hell outta this today and it won't work in any operating system other than windows XP. But some people claim otherwise. I even rang up alberts in cannington and they said it won't work on anything but 32 bit win xp. Apparently it'll work if you can ran a "virtual XP" on your windows 7 but you need a higher spec than home premium to download that app.

RRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEEE @ alpine right now.

Just one if those things to give the dealers the edge on installs u suppose.

Closest descent alpine dealer is 1700km away :-/

That was my first thought.......

Also I like to play with it to learn.

Hit up a mate in Perth and get them to grab a cheapo xp lappy from cashies.

Or road trip it to karratha next week between Tues and Thursday and you can use my work laptop

Thanks for the offer Luke but I already have work lined up for those days. Would've been good to meet ya and get this thingy-ma-bob sorted. It only cost me $200 and was supposed to be a cheap half way between a full 3 way setup and what I have now just so I can learn about active setups.

Someone in this town will have an older lappy that I can use for an hour or two......... Failing that I might be in contact with you.

Lol at cheap anything from cashies :-)

Have you tried running the application in compatibility mode and as an administrator?

(google it if you aren't sure how to do it)

But here is the link to Virtual PC. As far as I know you shouldn't be limited to run it on certain computers like you were told.

Give it a good read and install it. There are plenty of guides on the Internet how to use Virtual PC. The biggest thing is that you need a copy of Windows XP.

I tried what I could do. Which may not have been everything but for the average joe its a head kcuf. Shouldnt have to be a 20yr veteran computer programmer hacker technician to get it to work.

I tried compatibility mode and as administrator. Cant run virtual PC from home version windows 7. Upgrading windows 7 to required model was more costly than getting an XP machine. Wont work easily with windows 7. My computer skills are average on a good day.

I bought a 2nd hand lappy off ebay, cost less than a $100. Should fix my problem. I pulled my stereo out to dynamat the car and make tweeter pods and new boot install. Hopefully have it running again around x-mas to try it out
