Greg, I just put in the PAR and went through the usual inane, incomplete, and flawed software installation crap. After all the hoopla about the PAR, I guess I expected the installation process to be better what you usually get with cheap hardware. I was wrong. I get the same "Fata Error: Communication Time Out" message as Mark reported everytime I try to start par.exe. I've been through all the tests and formatted the drive, etc, etc many times. DPS might also properly label the new software: it is NOT new version; it is an UPDATE. After a long time spent trying to just use the new software, I finally realize that you must first install the old software. No mention is made of this fact anywhere. Any ideas? Alec Jason
