#HARDWARE LOCK ERROR
5 messages in this thread
I've just installed 3dstudio on my 486DX33 (4 Meg RAM). I tried running it, and
have gotten the error message "SentinelPro must be plugged into parallel port".
I've checked the readme.doc file, and it states that I should replace my
controller card (I have only one parallel port at the moment). Is this the only
option open to me? Please help me on this! Thanks, David Heys (74043,3521)

I had minor problems with the hardware lock on my Tri-Star 386DX-33
in that it gave me the same "Sentinel Pro not found" message whenever
I had my printer attached through the dongle but not turned on. If I
turned on the printer (or disconnected it) the message never
appeared. I switched up to a Gateway 486DX2-66 within the last six
months or so and it hasn't repeated the problem.
Chris,

OK. I'm not currently having any significant problems with the lock,
but I'll download it and look at it.
