- Hi,
-
- This afternoon I just bought a copy of LightWave 3D. Having quite a lot of patience I carefully read the LightWave pre-realese
- notes, and followed the instructions. It said, to turn off my computer, insert the dongle, turn it on again, insert floppy 1,
- running windows, choose a:setup and follow the instructions on screen. This said, after a welcome message, that I had the
- choice between 2 installations, of which I chose the largest (and recommended for the 1st time). Here I chose all the options
- that had no 0 Mb in the 'required space'-place. Then the NOTES continue, saying that, at one point in the installation, I have to
- insert THE disk that's required for the sentinel-driver, open the drivers control, add it (manually!!) and restart windows, so that
- the changes can take effect, and I can run LW.
- All went well, till the end of the installation procedure, where it hadn't asked for the Sentinel Disk AT ALL! Setup just stopped,
- and said LW was installed succesfully. Even manually installing the sentinel-driver didn't work. The driver control panel just can't
- handle the oemsetup.inf included on the 3rd(!) disk well, and conlcludes that I should contact my SYSTEM MANAGER (that's
- me myself and I).
- The strangest part is, that, allthough I haven't installed the sentinel-driver, (but DID install the dongle), Lightwave just RUNS!
- without screaming for the dongle (offcourse you'd say, it's there) But why does the booklet make such a fuss about installing
- the driver???
-
- Hope somebody can help, or not and leave me this way, 'cause till now, I'm not quite unhappy with this situation.
- I just wondered if someone had the same experience....
