Win XP Drivers to Win 7

Drizzles · Nov 20, 2010

Hiya fellas, been a while since I've been on. But, short of borrowing someone elses laptop, I'm stuck. I need to find Windows 7 64bit drivers for my KWP2000+ (ECU Flasher for my car), it comes included with up to XP, is there any way to convert XP drivers to Win 7 drivers?

Hi

No way to convert drivers sadly, some XP ones may work but in the main they will not, if the drvice has Vista drivers then you maybe in luck as they tend to work ok in Win7.

Have you tried the XP driver and if so what error did you get, could right click the setup for the driver and choose Run as Administrator as that may work.

Do you have a link to the makers site of the KWP2000+? please post.

Alternative thought is to use a Virtual PC and install a version of XP in that, then you can from within Win7 run XP, Virtual PC 2007 or Sun VirtualBox are the two good options for Virtual PC.

Now THAT Halo, is a good idea ... why didn't I think of that :\ ... and no I don't know the makers site I've googled it and can't find it.

Thanks Halo, I ended up using Virtual Box which worked a charm.
