I just recently did a clean install of Win XP Pro SP2 on a new computer I built, installed Vectorworks 10.5.1 and let Windows Update find the most recent driver for my dongle. Now when I start VW it gives me a 'Vectorworks requires that up-to-date dongle drivers be installed. Please install the drivers and relaunch Vectorworks' I attempted a re-install of VW, downloaded and attempted the isntall the dongle drivers from but keep getting a installation crash (the same crash that plauged the HASP drivers when XP was first released) Even stranger is an install of VW on my labtop was fine, (Win XP Home SP1) Is the HASP Dongle Drivers and/or VW incompatible with SP2? Could it be a USB problem? Hi everyone, I haven't actually read the whole thread, and I don't know whether you guys are talking about the same problems I'm facing, but I experienced some kind of the same problem as described in the first post. I also installed a new clean version of Windows XP Pro SP2. I am trying to install a USB Dongle, indicated by Windows as 'Hardlock 1.02', using also the HASP Drivers by Aladdin.

So maybe it doesn't exactly match your problems. If that's the case, sorry about bothering you. I couldn't find anyone talking about the version of th HASP HL Driver. Well, maybe I overlooked some posts. Download lagu gym class heroes stereo hearts wapka.

HASP downloads for software developers and end users. To download a HASP Device Driver API, select the compiler that you are using from the list below. Install Shield Version 3 Samples, Win32, HDD_API_IS3.zip, 5.0 MB, 4.95, 09/2004. Driver files for Win XP, Win2000, Win 2000, WinXP, Server 2003.

Anyway, I was using version 4.95 since I was thinking this was the newest version awailable at ealaddin.com. But I found a newer version today: 5.11 This solved my problem completely! Broken by seether.

So, just as a suggestion, try downloading version 5.11, dated '09/2004' from the ealaddin site. Maybe it will work with your problem, too. Site: Direct link: Good luck, Tom [, 11:46 AM: Message edited by: lachs99 ]. HAPPY 50Th ANNIVERSARY It is now 50 days since I reported this problem to Nemetschek.

Sadly no solution has been offered, and contact has been minimal. Emails to Nemetschek Technical Support have been totally ignored. I am forced to copnclude that Nemetschek do not care about a problem which probably only affects a small number of users. This leaves only one course of action - Nemetschek, please advise me of procedures to return this defective product to you for a full refund. I hope that this can be accomplished easily otherwise, regrettably, matters would have to be taken further, fully publicised, and probably end up in court. In some sadness Eric.

FROM ALADDIN: You can try to download and install a different driver from here: This is version 1.8, that was released with HASP HL and is fully compatible with HASP4. Alan - As you can see from Aladdin, they do summise the problem is with the dongle driver. There are also a number of other programs that have reported this problem to Aladdin.

This is not a VectorWorks problem. The sleep mode of the OS has nothing to do with VectorWorks and vice versa. The problem is between the dongle driver and the Operating System.

I am surprised that Aladdin told you otherwise. I have been in clear contact with them and they have not only noted to me that it's a problem with the dongle drivers and SP2, but other programs that supply dongles as their software protection have reported users experiecing the same problem outside of their software. Hi Katie I in turn am surprised to hear you say that it's not a Vectorworks problem, from what I've been told. Sorry, don't see anything on the page about the 'summise the problem is with the dongle driver'. Can you show me link please. This could run on and on with us, the poor user, stuck in the middle with both companies bouncing us back and forth!! Please note, I have not and do not intend to load Service Pack 2, so any inference that this is related to installing that can be completely discounted.

I can only repeat what I was told to me when I telephoned Aladdin UK Tech Support. How the program communicates with the dongle is down to how the software is written to communicate with the drivers, as in Vectorworks, written by you. They supply the hardware and the drivers, the hooks as he described it, for the software to write to. I was also told that they have hundreds of companies using this with no problems.

I repeat I'm using Windows XP with only Service Pack 1 installed. All my other programs work fine and apart from this dongle issue it appears so does Vectorworks. Let me make on thing clear please- I'm not in a position, and would not wish to claim you are not telling the truth, but clearly not only is somebody not doing so, we the end user, are having to put up with the end result whoever it is. I can see that the site you mentioned has new files on its pages. Do they relate to SP2 issues and/or VW 11? Because I'm running 10.5.1 and at the suggestion of your Tech Support,with replacement drivers downloaded last week.
