Sebastiao: After loading new PAR software and before running it, reboot your machine. You should have no problems after that with any new upgrade. Greg Pyros

Hey Greg- I'm running the latest available mouse drivers for a SD-1212 Wacom tablet (puck and stylus) and the PAR software (newest, I forget the #, just got it) and it looses the mouse when I change dos directories- but not par project/directories. Any idea on why this would be? It works great on a MS mouse, but not with the Wacom tablet. The older Wacom tablet mouse drivers don't work well either. It wouldn't be such a pain, but there aren't even keyboard shortcuts for all of that. Another problem, the Windows MCI drivers don't work at all. It actually crashes when I run the player.

When I upgraded the PAR 1.5 couple of months ago, it was flawless. I only find problem when upgrading fr. 1.13 > 1.34. It basically corrupted the whole PAR hd, which you mentioned. But don't take my words for it. Just copy/backup all of the data prior to installation. This is the safest insurrance to any possible corruptions. (Automated, allow 24-36 hrs. for read/reply) – TSL

Sebastiano: Turn off your Caps Lock, Caps means you are shouting in Cserve. As far as the Par problem it could be that your autoexec.bat/config.sys is still initializing the original par drivers. Did you install the new Par software in the same directory as the old version? I'd check the the paths of any statement in your startup proceedure to make sure that they point to the most current files. The situation you have described is not normal, a new version of the Par software should allow you to see whatever you currently have stored on the drive.
