    I was able to get TechStream 12.10.019 to run under XP and Windows 7:
    • XP - reasonably fast but caution, make sure you have a compatible version of Java for XP.
    • Windows 7 - what a DOG! It runs but sure takes a long time to do anything.
    I'm running both using VMware Fusion:
    • dual-core, 1.83 GHz
    • 1 G DRAM

    But does it run on Windows Vista, 95, 3.1 and MS-DOS? Oh, don’t forget Windows for Workgroups

    Doesn't Toyota recommend using XP 64bit for current official Techstream (not sure what version though)?

    Good, fast, cheap: pick two. Being retired, cheap is one and it has to be good enough to work.

    I never got my ebay purchased miniVCI to work on my old netbook running Win7 32 bit. It is a driver issue, I think, but I have lost interest in pursuing further to resolve the problem.

    My experience suggests there is a specific order things must be done.

    The video instructions that came with my Techstream version showed the order of the process.

    Works well and is a great tool for the diy tool box.
