Hello Chaps, before I start jumping up and down to FS...perhaps some one can enlighten me as to it's operation. I use Windows XP sp111 and in starting the disc, it comes up with nothing....am I holding my mouth wrong or something? | ||

As in when you look on the disc there are no files on it ? | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood New User Username: tasbent Post Number: 7 Registered: 9-2017 |
Yes....as in when you spool it up and it's blank. No files, no instructions, nothing. | ||

Sounds like a bad disc. (I guess you have tried another disc to test the drive?). Not sure jumping up and down will help apart from being good exercise and being generally amusing to any bystanders :D Drop them an email, I'm sure they will sort it out. | ||

Try it in a more modern machine. Mike | ||

Yes Paul...have tried alternate discs and all works OK. Michael...good idea....if I had one close by which I don't. It just seems strange to me that the disc should open with nothing on it....as if it hasn't been formatted correctly. I know that it is date sensitive but it's supposed to have a file attached which corrects your PC to an earlier time to allow the disc to operate. | ||

Hi Max just a thought it is CD and not a DVD? Or like you say not finalised Mike | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood New User Username: tasbent Post Number: 9 Registered: 9-2017 |
Good morning Michael....it's a DVD and has the following written on it..... "This disk is date sensitive and will expire but includes a 'run-as-date' utility to prolong lifespan. DVD for use on Windows PC not Mac compatible" TSD6000-DVD IETIS | ||
| michael vass Grand Master Username: mikebentleyturbo2 Post Number: 372 Registered: 7-2015 |
So is your drive DVD rw re write disc comparable? Is it a DVD writer drive? Mike | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood New User Username: tasbent Post Number: 10 Registered: 9-2017 |
Yes Micheal it will play music CD's as well as all DVD formats. My other discs work fine....even my JTIS Jaguar workshop manuals work just fine. This DVD behaves just like an empty one. I will be talking to FS as soon as they open. I have to wait several hours as we are 10 hrs in front of the UK here in dear little Tasmania ;o)) | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 11 Registered: 9-2017 |
I meant to include....yes, it will burn CD's and DVD's ;o)) | ||

Hi Max , hope you get sorted tazzy is a long way from MKT bosworth! I have a PC running xp and it plays my disc OK but I have had it Years so maybe different. Good luck Mike | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 12 Registered: 9-2017 |
Hello Mike....yes, I certainly hope I can get it sorted. It's a little disheartening to fork over $60 for a disc that doesn't work. | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 13 Registered: 9-2017 |
Well Chaps....an update on the saga....FS has agreed to replace the disc which will be included with our latest order of window regulator bits....let's hope this replacement disc works or it's back it goes with the other one for full refund ;o] | ||

On my laptop I have to change the date every time before using the TSD, I use any date in 2010 and it opens and runs perfectly. As soon as it's 'up' I revert to todays date and there is no further objection from disc or laptop. Have you tried changing the date on the Laptop? You may have done/said and I misread. | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 14 Registered: 9-2017 |
Evening David....no, at this time i have not changed the date as i assumed that would be taken care of the software included on the disc in a foler called 'Run By date' which supposed to do that. By changing the date, do you refer to the PC clock? | ||
| Paul Yorke Grand Master Username: paul_yorke Post Number: 1868 Registered: 6-2006 |
will not help in this case | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 15 Registered: 9-2017 |
Hello Paul....have just tried the very same and yes it does not work ;o( | ||
| David Towers Prolific User Username: xtriple Post Number: 177 Registered: 6-2010 |
Sorry for the duff gen  I was hopeful for a minute. But for future reference, yes, I change the date on the clock to an earlier year and it all works. Again, sorry. | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 16 Registered: 9-2017 |
Hello David....we can but try. I tried each year backwards from 2015-2009 with same results....we'll see what happens with the replacement disc which should arrive in about a week....cheers  | ||

That will not work in this case. It will become obvious why once you have a working copy. Once you have the working copy your current frustration will be a happy memory. Navigating your way around a manual designed with zero intuitivity for a professional workforce to use. Sheer joy. Perseverance and always starting by pressing the VIN button and typing your VIN in first thing will help. Have fun. | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 18 Registered: 9-2017 |
Thanks for that over abundance of enthusiastic endevour for me to look forward to  | ||
| David Towers Prolific User Username: xtriple Post Number: 180 Registered: 6-2010 |
I must admit I LOVE the TSD thing! It is, as you say counter- intuitive but it's half the fun looking for one thing and finding 16 others instead, all of which require further investigation. Of course, it becomes a bit like reading a medical book as you convince yourself that the car is on its last legs with everything worn out while after reading said medical text you know that your time is so limited on this Earth that you will never get to drive it again when in good order | ||

Heheheee....all too often it's a case of forarmed is forwarned....or is it a case of just enough knowledge to be dangerous?  | ||

My version of this disc doesn't have this date problem, and doesn't need "run as date": 1990-2000 TSD6000 Rolls/Bentley Workshop & Parts Manual Set | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 21 Registered: 9-2017 |
Hello Larry...that is most kind of you Sir....I will give it a whirl as I consider the replacement disc will behave in the same way. | ||
| Larry Halpert Prolific User Username: larry_halpert Post Number: 180 Registered: 9-2003 |
Already on its way to you. - Larry | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 22 Registered: 9-2017 |
...>>>> Already on its way to you. - Larry....>>>> Great service Larry....have already had UPS confirmation  | ||
| Maxwell Heazlewood Experienced User Username: tasbent Post Number: 46 Registered: 9-2017 |
Just a little update chaps. The second disc arrived yesterday and displays exactly the same symptoms as the first....so obviously it's incompatible with my system and I shall return both of them for a refund. |
