Vag-Com- Laptop problem

[Snoopcousins]

Dont know if anyone can help but here goes...

Im trying to use a work laptop that has Vag-com installed and it connects perfectly to my car but i have a problem SAVING the settings to the car.
I get an error saying that i need Administrator rights as its obviously trying to save the data to a specific file/folder on the laptop that is protected.

My question is does anyone know what files or folders data is saved to as I can get the protection removed from them if i know which ones?

Thanks...

I don't know for certain but I would imagine it's the VAG-COM folder in Program Files.

Notebook type? Operating system? VAG-COM version?

Its a Dell Latitude D510 with Wins XP.
Vag_Com version- Release 311.2-N

Do you have all service packs and updates installed for windows xp? You said the problem comes up when you are trying to "save" values to the car, could you elaborate taht please?

As i say its a Work laptop that is pretty well locked down in certain aspects. A technician will take off the protection on certain files if i can tell him what they are.
Im sure all XP updates etc are installed.

I get an error when im trying to saving a change to a setting (1 to 0 etc).
I aint the most computer literate in the world! i may just buy myself another laptop..

your problem is the lock down due to work, you won't be a local admin...

ask him to make you a local admin on the machine if they will!

or just buy a second hand 2.5" hard drive for 20 or 30 quid, build it up whatever way you want and swap it in when you want to use vagcom, means you can download as much **** as you want too and work will never know! haha
