Description
The MAX PLUS II software can not recognize your software guard if Plug and Play mode is enabled for your parallel port.
To fix this problem, change the following settings in the BIOS (different BIOS versions may have different settings -- consult your PC manufacturer):
Enable Plug and Play: No
LPT1 Mode: ECP (Extended Capabilities Port)
Also, ensure your BIOS settings match your Sentinel Driver settings. To find the settings for your Sentinel Driver, go through the following selections:
- Control Panel
- Multimedia
- Devices Tab
- Other Multimedia Devices
- Sentinel for i386 Systems
- Properties
- Settings
