The service manual was provided on CD as a web application. Each page is encumbered with Active-X and no one's taken the time to convert the (close to 20,000) xml pages of content since it can only be read with a browser or cut-n-pasted into a word doc for eventual conversion to PDF.hi was wondering if anyone had a 2007 and up service manual with powertrain troubleshooting in pdf format thanx
Is this a one-time thing or do you need the reference for future use too?thanks guess im stuck trying to get a cd on ebay for 50.00 bucks then.thanks for the reply
Does anyone still have this? I deal with formatting XML-based technical documentation and help systems for a living; if somebody's got a copy of the CD I'm thinking I could probably get it into a set of reference PDFs with a little bit of work as long as their XML isn't too terrible.The service manual was provided on CD as a web application.

I figured out how to run it on Windows 8. When the internet page opens, press F12 and run in IE9. IE10 doesn't work. Does yours hang on you between pages with the older laptop? I'm wondering if it's a Windows 8 problem, but whenever I click on a new page in the program I have to wait up to a minute for it to load. Can be very frustrating.The CD only runs on Windows XP if I remember correctly. (I don't use mine ever!). I had to get a tossed out lap top from a friends discard pile, do a fresh install of XP to run it. (works good) So now I have a obsolete lap top, with only this application on it. Sort of a pain!

... see me earlier post ...Maybe there's a nice guy out there who paid the $300 dealer cost for the disk who will share the entire CD for free..
A quick and easy way to set up a web server on your own little Windows 7 Home box is to download and install WAMPjon said:If you can run a webservice like apache or IIS on your windows machine, that would probably work around the issue.
