You will need to go into this "Firewall" program, which could be Norton, Zone Alarm, XP Service Pack 2, etc. and allow our software to go out or disable the firewall for a few minutes while you run the Install.


To answer you Beavis,
The Reason for the Floppy is that it can be written to, over and over unlike a CD. We had toyed with trying to do a USB Flash, but it never has the same drive letter. When you start the Install it always looks to see if there is a Floppy in the A: drive with the information it needs for that computer. If so, it takes the information from the disk and skips the internet connection.

Here is how the process works:
These files are copied to the Floppy are Runme.exe, RegInfo.dat and winhttp.dll. Once the files are written to the floppy, you then take this to a computer that is connected to the Internet. You then Open the A:\ under My computer and Double click on the Runme.exe file. This then transmits the data from the Reginfo.dat file to our site and then our site removes some of the data from this file on your disk and puts the needed codes. Once this is done you take the disk back to your computer that you are trying to Install the MTU software on.

Bryan, thank you for your help and I have Norton on this machine so I disconected the firewall and I got as far as the program telling me that I had already loaded this program to two computers. If you check my records you will find that I had a computer crash and they had to install a new hard drive. The couldn't recover any of my programs so I had to re load them again. I wrote to you to see how I could do that and was given instructions. I only had one computer until I just bought this laptop and if it is going to cost me something then please let me know how much and where to send it. Again, Thanks for all the help, Ralph Robinson
