Module programming should be available again. If your version is expired there exist fileĬ:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ford Motor Company\IDS\Users\_to_flag.exmlĭelete this file and run IDS. This procedure was tested only with v57.įirst locate c:\Program Files\Ford Motor Company\IDS\Runtime\Apps\mcp.iniĪt the end file is line with MCP_VERSION_TIMEOUT=255
I found solution how to solve problem with disabled module programming after some time. JUST TAKE 60 minutes out - do the clean install, with date amendments, it wont run out, time out or similar.
it will not workĬleaning the registry is a waste of time - you wont clean it, even fords own clean up software leaves traces inside the registry Using the ford inhouse - vcm clean or any version of the IDS clean up sopftware will not bring back programming even if you reinstall ids. Oh and make sure you V63 install is the full install with caliberation files. I would not go rushing into V65 just yet, worth waiting a little longer to see if the rumours of problems are true. While it may remove any potential information ford want stored there, one thing is for sure and that is that this will not bring back programming to your exisiting installation of ids and xp pro. The suggestion of flashing with Jaguar is a good one to remove any previous ford flaSH, BUT WE ARE convinced that no dates are stored in there. ONCE YOUR PROGRAMMING IS GONE DOWN ON THE LAPTOP YOU USE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BRING IT BACK WITHOUT THIS METHOD> Plug into vehicle and your programming will be fine.
Plug in vcm cable - sort local area connection realtek 1850 so its installed. do not connect to the internet, once finished, but make sure you have sp 3 install disk. But just get a xp pro install disk - make a complete new fresh install of xp pro.
