Jon, Do not, repeat NOT, assign a Soundscape-ish name to the directory in which you place Soundscape. Soundscape has a disk-based protection scheme which is so tacky as to CRASH YOUR MACHINE (yes, it's DESIGNED to do that) if it doesn't find what it likes. If you don't assign the name, Soundscape will come up and ask you to insert the volume when it gets to the protection code; insert your original disk momentarily (treating it like a key disk) and everything sould continue normally. Someone else may be able to offer suggestions on getting around the CP proper. Hope this helps! Rick

Jon, You can call your HD directory SouncScape, just DO NOT have the following line anywhere: "Assign SoundScape: dh0:SoundScape" (This assign is a definite no-no!) You're correct in copying soundscape.library to your LIBS: volume. Move the other stuff from the SoundScape disk ROOT directory (only) to your dh0:SoundScape directory, so you'll have the samples and example tracks in the drawer. (You can always change from the requester later.) Create a file in your S: directory called SS-modules that has the following line in it: "Assign DEFAULT: dh0:SoundScape" Now, everything should be OK. Just open the dh0:SoundScape drawer and click on the SoundScape icon. As Rick said, you'll be prompted for your master disk and then the CP will be satisfied. You can remove the key disk afterwards. It won't be needed for the remainder of the session. Hope this helps. 8) David
