[R129 SL] Cd rom mb usa

Mon Feb 14 12:25:38 EST 2005

I tried to do so like the instruction manual tell me to do, so I
installed the Whip.exe file.
But a did have already acrobat on my system.  Had 5.01 and on the CD its
5.0.
Also I deleted the original 5.01 and install the 5.0
I use MS XP home and MS browser.
It did not work. Also not on my laptop, witch uses MS XP professional
and Acrobat 6.0

I try on to find the fault.
Mayby I must first completely de-install arcobat and start with a fresh
machine.
That's' why we call it a hobby.

Thanks for reaction.

George, I received your CD-rom from MB USA.

What I can see in the beginning is interesting, because there is a
possibility to give the numbers from the parts, and The system tells
where it's hidden in the car, and there are complete maintenance issues.
Also there are a lot off test procedures, and a lot of drawings. I also
discovered that there are a lot of system drawings acrobat files, but
there is the problem. The files are protected with a code. So the
protocol is working, but when the system asked for a drawing or
electrical system, I get the remark that I miss A plug in for safety
reasons. I look to the files with notebook, and see that there was an
encryption code. When I delete that code, the acrobat reader Takes the
file, and by the properties it say's that there is no password needed
anymore, but I don't have a picture.

So I believe that on the CD there is a complete service manual for the
dealers, but we are missing the safety plug in with, The passwords for
the file's.

Has anyone experience with this? Is there any plug in we can download?

My experience was I had to use the version of Acrobat Reader that was on

the CD-ROM with the R129 files. If not, then one gets problems and as I 
also have the full Acrobat installed, it kept defaulting to that (and 
trouble) when I tried to browse the files.

Chris Simandl also has a copy and, as our resident I.T. expert, might be

able to throw some light on your observations.

Jan, I also have this copy of the DVD which I purchased from Jonathan
Hodgman last September.  I found that If I followed the text file
instructions which were also on the DVD to the letter everything worked
out fine.  I am listing the contents of this text file in case you did
not get it with your copy.

"Mercedes R129 DVD Service Manual Installation Instructions

Browse to your DVD drive in windows Explorer (right click on start,
explore) In the root directory of the DVD you will see three folders.
Browse to the Utils folder.  In there you will see a Whip4.exe, install
this program. Repeat the above steps after installing Whip and install
acroreader. Restart.

Upon restarting, browse back to the root directory of the DVD, and
browse the Acrobat folder, then Reader, in the Reader directory run
AcroRd32.EXE Allow some time for acrobat to fire up.

Lastly, browse to the Classic folder and run Home.html and you're off:)"

I think the key is the Whip4.exe file.  Once this is installed it
somehow attaches to MS Internet Explorer and provides the authority to
view the requested documents and drawings on line.  One more thing.
When I first tried the disk I was using Mozilla FireFox as my browser
and could not use the 129 manual.  When I reloaded MS Internet Explorer
as my browser and reinstalled the 129 manual as above everything
immediately straightened out.

Happy Motoring,
George Jenner
