How do you set up mini Victoria please?

The disc contains the techstream program and must be installed on the computer. Were instructions included with your purchase?
If not, put the disk in the computer and see if it self starts. If it does, just follow the directions it supplies.
If it doesn't self start, use file manager to access that drive (many times it's the D drive and look at it's list of files. One will probably say "read me first" or "print me" or something similar. It should have the instructions on how to install the software.

If none of that works, I've heard there's several places online where you can download the software. Maybe it will install more easily.

 

i figured mini victoria was an aussie thing

 

Or a Canadian thing.

 

So disappointed.
Mini Victoria?
I expected to see something made of expensive hardwood, and uniquely crafted brass and silver, that used mainsprings and music box elements to create magic.
Instead....just software and computers. You can't take that to the antiques roadshow.

Sorry...no help.
Carry on.

 

Yeah, I was lured into this thread by the title too. Was expecting a bit more exotic. LOL

Anyway, for installing pirated Techstream with a cheap knock-off VCI can be very straightforward or extremely convoluted. Installing the Techstream program and logging onto it may require special instruction from the seller. There are number of different way to unlock the the program so you can use it depending on the version. Secondly, you will need to install a correct version of driver file. Again this file seems to be highly dependent on the laptop system and miniVCI used. I tried three different miniVCI and Techstream, but so far I can not get any of them to work on my old Windows XP netbook.

You might want to try watching this video, but the specific steps may or may not apply to your system.

 

Can you list the files that are on the disk?

No offense, but I am a little concerned that you don't even know which version of Windows you have. That level of computer knowledge is going to make a successful installation a long shot unless you're familiar with installing drivers and other software.

 

I think your easiest option would be if you can get the 32-bit version of Windows 7 since most of the Mini VCI kits come with 32-bit drivers. Getting them to run on 64-bit operating systems takes extra expertise. I recommend that it be on a laptop dedicated just to running Techstream. It would be a shame to have some game or other app screw up the tool you might need in a pinch to find out what's wrong with your car. Mine is running on an old Windows XP I had laying around that I installed in a virtual machine running on an old Linux laptop I don't use anymore for anything else.

This could be a great learning experience for you if your computer dude can come over and just look over your shoulder and talk you through it. Have fun!

 

The pirate versions were mostly for windows XP. Anything later is more difficult.
Best to buy an old XP laptop if you can and then it will be dedicated to your Prius.
One of the files on the disk will explain how to install it and how to activate it but if you really do have a limited knowledge of computers, then get somebody to help you out.
Once it's installed (if you manage it) There are lots of youtube videos showing you how to use it/

 

LOL
good luck
should be ok for your 06

just google about windows
the wind blows in them
10 is the most secure windblows yet.

 

Makes sense, but for more flexibility, I prefer to have my owners manuals in my iCloud drive. If your shop manuals are pdf files, you can do the same with them. You can use Dropbox or Micro$soft OneDrive if you prefer. This way, they are accessible with my phone, or my tablet, or my regular laptop, or my desktop computer. I can access them anywhere that I have internet. You would not want to access them on the cloud from the Techstream computer because Techstream is liable to "phone home" and make you register and then it won't be usable until you authenticate it, which you can't do with these setups. Also, if the TS computer is running Windows XP, you definitely want to keep it disconnected from the internet or you'll have a virus in a matter of seconds.

 

If you take long road trips through places where wireless coverage is spotty, having the manuals stored locally could be worth something. They're not so huge as to be any problem to store on a typical beater laptop.
