Hi, I'm trying to run a windows applicaction that requires access to a parallel port security device. I need to install 'Hardlock Device Driver' from Alladin but the installer returns: "Installing the Device drivers failed. The error message is: Failed to query processes accesing the driver. Failed to open the registry" Naturally, the program doesn't run. I've copied the files (.dll, .sys and .vxd) to C:\windows\system32, but I get the same result. The URL of the program is ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/aladdin.de/hardlock/hldrv32.zip Can anybody help me? Thanks.
