I have the 2007 BMW TIS which won't run on my Windows 7 computer. Anyone know how to convert the TIS documents to PDF so I can use them on my W7 computer?

What format is the TIS in? In general for files, you can covert them to PDF by downloading a PDF print program like CutePDF or pdfFactory. They are free but will add a watermark to the final file. They show up as a printer on your computer. Open file, select print, select pdfFactory, then Save.

Install a VM (like VMWare or VirtualBox) with Windows XP. The 64bit nature of Win7 makes TIS difficult to use.
