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
