Thanks,
Nial.
Received with thanks.

When you download virtualbox, make sure you also download the USB extension pack from this site too to your main host machine NOT the virtual machine https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then when you go into virtualbox, go into settings and install the extension pack in the virtual machine.
Remember to set up the virtual machine to match the Vida REQUIREMENTS as explained in the video you've seen.
That's my video too btw.

Your location is a bit vague.

Hello again,
I live in Mexico but when I registered my country was not an option, so only "not in UK" was available lol, my postal code is 52780.
I have a few questions before we proceed, I have just one lap top at the moment which runs on Windows 8, I watched one of your tutorials on how to install a virtual machine along to where to buy a Windows 7 professional license, so according to it, I'm going to be good regarding software requirements, I do know that VIDA/DICE requires at least 3 GB for RAM memory, do I need to upgrade my pc first? Or can I get away with 2GB?

Thank you very much,
Ricardo.

The Vida version I sell requires 3gb ram and I sell it on the assumption that the buyer has a laptop with all the minimum requirements.
Trying to install it with less ram is up to you by I wouldn't recommend it.

Postage is also expensive as I would only use a tracked service.
£130 GBP total delivered price for the Dice.

Ok sounds good, I'll have someone expand the RAM to 3gb then, please allow me until this is done and I will contact you.

Cheers,

LOL, if only. Im at i.t engineer myself and my mate is a technician and we had some right hassle getting vida installed and working. Its not for people who cant format windows and fix more intermediate computer faults imo.

We also tried 4 different laptops and it would only install and work correctly on one out of the 4. :-/

Bit of a review,

Great service from Cheshired5, good communication etc.

My brother is a computer whizzkid and spent a few hours fiddling to get vida & dice installed (included get a pizza and beers). Had to google a username and password but works 100% now. it's great fiddling through all the relays etc, finally found out why my alarm is randomly triggering.

Anyway, it's worth the money

It's obviously in your interest to make out Vida is difficult to install because you're selling a laptop on here for over £300 which is quite frankly a rip off.
Your advert also contains some blatant misinformation.

Vida 2014d is not difficult to install.
You don't need to format Windows
You can have a fully Windows updated laptop including dot net Framework updates.
I install Vida 2014d at least once a week as I do random checks on the DVDs I include with Dice and it's the same easy install result every time.
