Help Me! Installation Problems.

Hi there. New the this forum but I'm hoping you guys can help. I bought a Pulsar system about 7 years ago (v1.01). A couple of years ago my computer died and my card has been sitting in storage since then. I recently bought a new computer and have encountered some problems installing my Pulsar. When trying to install the original software, install wizard informs me that Pulsar won't run on Windows NT. I went to the creamware site and downloaded Pulsar 3.01. As it's a new computer, there is no version of Pulsar/Scope running on it. When I try to run installation for 3.01 it asks for my Pulsar software key. I emailed creamware and they sent me my allkeys file. When I try to punch in my Pulsar key, the space allowed by the installation program doesn't allow me to enter the whole code, therefore the program tells me my code is incorrect. Firstly, will an updated software package run of NT? And if so, how can I install the program? I have read the readme files that come with the 3.01 download but to no avail.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Nick

just use the browse function to read the allkeys file and import the keys automatically. i like to put the allkeys file on the desktop and then when the dialog comes up asking for the keys, i use the "import from file" function, browse to the desktop, select 'allkeys.skf" and viola!

Thanks Gary. Managed to install the software, however a new problem has surfaced (Hurrah!). It seems that windows won't recognize my Pulsar card. I've followed the manual to install the drivers but when I select the appropriate driver windows deliver the message "that specific location does not contain information about your hardware". I'm trying to load the scopewmd.inf driver which according to the manual will handle all cards in the w2k environment. I know that this must seem pretty basic to y'all but I'm at a loss. What am I missing?

All good folks! Excited what!!! Have got some sound happening now so huge sigh of relief

It's been a while since I played with Pulsar but I can't wait to get into it. Looking forward to spending hours in front of the screen tweaking and learning (much to my wifes dismay). Anyway, thanks Gary and all (been scouring the other posts). Your enthusiasm is inspiring!
Nick
