Try running the "DAS" icon instead of Xentry. That goes straight into the diagnostic program instead of loading all the Xentry menus.

Is this a virtual machine running under VMware? What version of SDS?

What O/S does the laptop run? Is it Windows XP? Does it have all the icons on the desktop (DAS, Xentry, WIS, EPC, etc.) or do you have to launch another program that shows you aother desktop with the icons on it?

I bought a laptop hard drive that had all the DAS and Xentry programs on it and installed it in a Dell 630 laptop. It wouldn't work when I tried it, needed codes and passwords. The HDD came with all kinds of other programs like Teamviewer. I emailed the chinese seller and he got into my computer through Teamviewer and used a lot of the other programs on the hdd to get all the right codes installed. No problems after that.
