Ok I will try that .

Its a matter of choosing the right programme for the module fitted to your car, good advice from Jakg to scan all the modules and make a list of whats in your car. You could try each one presented in the list it will either load it or as you found out reject the job as its the wrong programme for whats in your car, you won't break anything doing it this way. If you find the German scripts annoying consider buying BMW Scanner 1.4 also available on ebay for low cost. It is far easier to use than INPA and its all in English. I recently had an airbag light and despite trying to reset it using INPA and BMW Scanner 1.4 I just couldn't get it to go out. DEcided to invest in a Creator 310+ via an Amazon supplier as a lot of members on here have good things to say about it. Once delivered plugged it in and found the B pillar Satellite sections and cleared a code that came back, light went out and has stayed out. Handy kit to have and less faff than breaking out the laptop all the time. Will still use INPA and BMW Scanner as both have their merits.

Thanks for the info . Unfortunately I don`t get the option for functional jobs and searching the internet there have been a few people with the same issue but I haven`t yet found a solution . The INPA etc I got was from a link provided by the cable seller . The link goes to a Mikes tools download . I have deleted everything from my laptop and run the cleaner and installed it all again but with no change . When I look on the internet people have E85/E86/E89 as options to select and more than one dsc to select but my version of INPA just gives E85 which shows E85 V1.11 and one DSC which is DSC MK60 . Do you have a link to the INPA that you are using or am I being a complete arse :?

Brakes working fine now after using new pressure bleeder and a working version of INPA . Thank you to all for your help and advice . Obviously I had to cancel the booking for the geometry set up but have been able to get it booked back in for about 3 weeks time :thumbsup:

I finally found a solution to removing VMWare player so that I could update Windows10.
This is what is needed fo anyone who has a similar issue.

MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab

iInstalling from the BCable Diagnostics software package inclused VMWare Player but no uninstall is provided : BEWARE
