- You are missing ultrasound.ini. That's the patch map that the new Windows

- Your problem is that you are using files from the old 1.1 disks with
- the new drivers. The 1.21 disks contains new patch maps and patches
- that the new Windows drivers requires. You will *need* the 1.21
- installation disks before you can use the new Windows drivers.
