The software can be a real camel to get set up, and it's a long-winded process. A decent eBay seller should provide a good walk-through.

I did a clean XP install on a new hard drive for my laptop, so the risk of any conflicts was at a minimum.

INPA is easy to use, if clunky and basic looking.

DIS is the one, but running Virtual Machine (VM) makes my laptop perform like it came out of the Ark, and not at all user friendly. DIS itself is very comprehensive. I've not tried any coding - and don't intend to, but it was good at faultfinding on my 530d. INPA read codes and frightened me because there was so many, but after reading them, they were all relatively minor (glowplugs weak etc).
