3DS Dongle

I'm having trouble getting the dongle to work with 3DS, when it loads, it halts and tells me to plug in the Sentinel Pro (even though it is plugged in with a printer connected to it). I tried it on a different machine and it worked ok, so I swapped I/O cards with the machine that it worked in, still no luck. I then began checking out possible IRQ conflicts, etc, writing each card's setup, nothing appears to be conflicting. I have used this machine before with 3DS successfully and I can print to LPT1 with no problems. The whole thing started happening about 3 weeks ago, I could get 3DS to load, but it would shut down in 5 or 10 minutes saying I didnt have the dongle connected, now it wont load at all. Any ideas? BTW: my system is a generic 486/66, 32MB, 2 SCSI cards, sound board, ISVR board, and STB Horizon SVGA card. Thanks, Dave
