ISTA D Help!

Hoping someone can guide me through some issues I've been having installing and running Ista D on my car.
I installed Ista D last week, but as soon as I start the program I receive an error message " a fault occurred the last time Ista d was installed which leads to data inconsistencies. To rectify, open Ista launcher and carry out repair installation." Unfortunately when I look in the tools folder I don't see any type of repair to run. I also don't see anything in the Rheingold folder.
The second issue, when I connect the cable to the obd port in my car, I am receiving another error message, " the vehicle could not be identified successfully, check vehicle interface and pad active". For this reason I can't run a diagnostic on the car. My cars Vin does pop up, but then I get that error message when I try to complete the vehicle check.
I am using an old Sony laptop with a windows 7 operating system that I use solely for the car. Also the obd cable connects to the computer via Ethernet and not usb.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have spent hours trying to figure this out but I'm at a dead end.

Your ISTA installation is bad. You need to source good one
