USB Key not being detected by E-prime

[Rick O'Gorman]

Hi Joseph,

Maybe someone who uses Parallels will contribute, but I use Virtualbox 
instead of Parallels and have had similar problems to you. I have found 
that the best way seems to be to make sure I have internet access when 
activating/validating e-prime with the dongle and letting Windows look 
for the driver. I got e-prime working once with a downloaded HASP driver 
but couldn't the next time. Letting windows find it online worked best 
for me. Also, I find that the Mac OS X grabs control of the HASP dongle 
when it's inserted, so first eject it in that OS but don't actually 
remove it. Windows should then find it, but if not then removing it and 
then re-inserting it works for me. You may also need to make your 
Parallels install aware of the HASP dongle as a device that it can control.

Best,
Rick
