Sep 04, 2014  Hi I have a customer that runs the CASmate-Pro program and for some reason today it come up and say: Can not run CASmate-Pro New-Hermes: The program has expired Has anyone come across this problem before? He has it running on Win98 First Edition, but would like to run on WinXP if possible. Thanks for any input with this problem.

Can any one help? I recently bought a new PC runnning windows xp. On installing Casmate (my main sign design program) I discover it will not run as the computer does not recognise the dongle plugged into the printer port. When plugged back into an old PC with casmate - the dongle is recognised without any problem - so I haven't got a faulty dongle. I also use Signlab which installed and ran without any problems. On looking for information about this on the net - I am advised that Casmate is not suitable for Windows xp or 2000 (Windows 98 being the last o/s suitable for Casmate).

However, on installing the demo version of Casmate pro - I find that this runs fine on Windows xp. (The demo version doesn't need the dongle - but cannot save files). Is there somthing about Windows xp which stops the dongle being recognised by Casmate? Can I install windows 98 onto a new PC to use alongside windows xp when running Casmate?

Am I overlooking something obvious? Any suggestions or advice would be welcome. (Casmate is no longer supported by Scanvec Amiable so good advice is hard to come by) • • • • •.

HI phil Sorry to Hear about your problem. I had simular probs when I first had xp and it took me about a fortnight to find all new drivers for me printers and I had trouble with signlab till I loaded a different dongle patch. But Back to your problem I havent done it for ages but it should be possible to partion your hard disk This will give you another drive virtually IE if you got a 80mb disk you can split it in to 2 say a 60mb and a 20 mb so you get another drive which might show up as C: and D: then your cd drives move up a letter E: and or f: then you need to write a little prog in your autoexec.bat file so when you boot up your computer you get a choice to use xp or 98 the pit falls will be a) it might not work b) it might make matters worse c) you cant use them both at the same time without rebooting.

If it was me I think I would run 2 computers and try networking them so you can swop files etc. Hope this helps.FB. Thanks for your suggestion FB - I have heard of this before. I'm not sure how to go about it but it's something I shall investigate further if I can't get Casmate to work on windows XP. Some questions about doing this though:- 1/ Can I create a partition on the hard disk without reformatting the C drive (I'm a bit worried about re-installing windows XP and all the other software that came pre-installed)?
