INSTALLING HARDLOCK DRIVERS Windows NT, Windows 95 & WIndows 3.x In order to use Hardlock under NT, Windows 95 or Windows 3.x, the support drivers in this directory must be installed first. The Windows 95/3.x driver is HARDLOCK.VXD and the Windows NT drivers are HARDLOCK.SYS and HLVDD.DLL. b, Installing Windows 3.x driver HARDLOCK.VXD --------------------------------------------- INSTVXD.EXE is a command shell utility that can be used to install and deinstall the Hardlock driver. If you like to do uit yourself, please add the following line to 386enh section in your Windows 3.x SYSTEM.INI file: [386Enh] device=[path\]hardlock.vxd Where [path\] is your path the file Hardlock.VxD If you installed the driver while your Windows 3.x is loaded, you have to restart your Windows. b, Installing Windows 95 driver HARDLOCK.VXD -------------------------------------------- The installation is pretty simple. All that has to be done is to place HARDLOCK.VxD in either the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, the PATH or in the current directory. NO entries have to be added to SYSTEM.INI or the registry. The driver will be loaded automatically on request at runtime. For example use the command COPY HARDLOCK.VXD C:\WIN95\SYSTEM to install the Windows 95 Hardlock driver (supposed you have Windows 95 installed in C:\WIN95). c, Installing Windows NT drivers HARDLOCK.SYS and HLVDD.DLL ----------------------------------------------------------- HLINST.EXE is a command shell utility that can be used to install and deinstall the Hardlock driver. If you have an old version already installed, the old driver must be deinstalled first. Use: HLINST -d # Remove old version of Hardlock drivers first! HLINST . # Install new drivers from current directory # (notice the dot in the command line!) to install HARDLOCK.SYS and HLVDD.DLL. The argument given to HLINST is the directory which contains this two files (HARDLOCK.SYS, HLVDD.DLL). HLINST copies the driver and the DLL to the appropriate system directories and starts the Hardlock service (driver). When HLINST is finished, the driver is running and you can execute programs which access the Hardlock. If you want to remove the Hardlock service from the system, enter HLINST -d at the shell prompt. No application using the Hardlock driver must be running at this time. Please note, that the HLINST stops the Hardlock service and removes the registry entries belonging to the Hardlock driver. It also deletes the HARDLOCK.SYS and HLVDD.DLL files.Download Driver Pack
