Installing E-Prime after upgrading to XP SP2

[Brandon Cernicky]

The issues with parallel keys not working may be a
result of newer machines and not necessarily that of
Windows XP SP2.

Newer Dells later than year 2001 were shipping with
parallel ports that did not provide the IEEE 1284
specification for power requirements in the default
mode which caused the parallel keys to fail.
Specifying another type in the BIOS (i.e. AT, PS/2)
allowed for the key to work.  The status of this being
corrected is not know primarily because the USB
version of the key is now more common.

There is also an updated version of the hardware key
driver available on the HASP/Alladin (makers of the
hardware key) web site and can be accessed via
http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/enduser.asp and
select the GUI install (PST Web Support also can
provide a direct link too).

As of 2004, the HASP hardware key is part of the
Windows Update utility and can be downloaded
automatically through that wizard/interface.
