The real simple fix is to get the latest WIS from eBay for $8.50, probably more recent that what you have anyway.

Done. Can't have too much information about this car, and $8.50 is dirt cheap for a manual.

My only problem is that what you get from Ebay is a "copy" of a VM (Virtual Machine).. So you need to have a powerful enough hardware to run a VM Server, and then run the VM itself.
Where Hayseed was asking in the first place. what he could do to make the WIS work. (and probably the EPC also).

None of that will make the WIS work on the laptop, because these are much older laptops.. over 10 years.. so we don't have a lot of memory available, etc.
I think it would be kind of silly to have to have 2 machines .. 1 with Star C3 and the other one (more powerful) running the VM and WIS on it. Just sayin.

Funny Enough, I purchased Hayseed's setup.. and it works for Star, but not the WIS.

So, I will pose the original question.. what is needed to get the WIS working on a Star C3 with older laptop setup and working?
