Email from the horses mouth...



Thank you for your recent email.

Unfortunately, technical repair DVD's are no longer available.

The best source of technical information is the Mercedes-Benz technical
website, www.startekinfo.com (a fee-based site). This website is utilized
by Mercedes-Benz technicians worldwide and has a wealth of information.

Mr. Carsy, we hope you find this information helpful.

Sincerely,

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC


The alternatives as I see them :-

1. Buy DVDs from Ebay & find a way to operate them on Windows 7 64 bit .eg
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mercedes-Benz...item27ba342450

2. Wait another 5 years for the Haynes Manual to be printed !!.

Any suggestions welcome.

I'm sure there is information to be down loaded on the internet for free, I have a German friend that he's always downloading manuals, I will ask him where does he getting them from.

Dynomite,

I have Windows 7 Home Premium which does not appear to be compatable with Virtual PC & XP ie :-

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...9-4f99e757064e

System Requirements

•Supported Operating Systems:Windows 7
Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, or Windows 7 Enterprise.

Thanks for your help.

Is there any other way around this ?

I am snookered again.

I do see a Saab CD on Ebay which is Windows 7 compliant. Maybe the pirates are updating ? !!
Thanks for your help.
