From: "weeleepeelee" To: <3DSMAX@engram.net> Subject: Hardware lock failure Date: Tuesday, March 21, 2000 7:56 PM Hi all, I'm sure this question have been asked before, but if someone cares to help i'd appreciate. My 3DSMax3.1 copy is not working anymore. Suddenly, yesterday after booting my computer I got a "Hardware lock is not attached, or you are using a wrong lock, or the lock device drivers are not running" message. Okay. Therefore I unplugged it, tried to locate the Sentinel files, initialized them, reinstalled Max, tried to install it on a different computer with a fresh Windows98OS, without peripherals connected : no matter, I still get the error message. So I suspect a dongle failure. Could be the result of a possible encounter between the dongle and a vacuum cleaner hose... :( So here's my question Have anyone of you experienced similar problem ? Is there a workaround ? Or do I have to call Kinetix, and ask for a replacement dongle ? And how much would they charge for this ? And how long would that take ? Thanks in advance for any advice W -- Subscribe/Unsubscribe at: http://mail.engram.net/guest/RemoteListSummary/3DSTUDIOMAX List courtesy of http://www.Engram.net
