Ultiroute 2001 causes system crash at HASP install

[NevadaDave]

I have an old version of Ultiroute which I only used occasionally on my older Dell D620 laptop. When I got my new (to me!) E6400 laptop, I installed Ultiboard 2001, but not Ultiroute. Now, whenever I try to install Ultiroute, the installer reaches the point where it is installing the HASP driver for the dongle, and every time it reaches this point, the system crashes hard - i.e. screen goes blank for 10 seconds, then the laptop reboots itself. After reboot, Windows tells me that it has receovered from a serious error. When I tell it to send a report, I get a web page that says the crash was caused by a device driver error.

Just for fun, I went to the Alladin website & tried their HASP driver - same result. Examining the parallel port driver in hardware manager (I use this laptop docked tro a Dell dock for Parallel port access) and telling it to look for an update, it says that no newer driver is available. At this point, I'm stuck. Anyone have any ideas? System is a Dell E6400, Win XP SP3. The software is Ultiroute 5.64. I know it's old, but it has worked acceptably in the past, and I have no budget for new software right now.

Hi NevadaDave,

Ultiroute used the Alladin dongle for security protection and if the Alladin driver is crashing the computer, to be honest there is not much we can do about it anymore.  From the Allinddin support page, there are several drivers; I am not sure which is the best one for the dongle that was shipped with Ultiroute so try a few.

If none of the driver you tried worked, I believe the Personal Ultiroute version didn't require a dongle and I can get this for you.  It will have fewer features than the version you own.  If this is something you want, send me a private message with your Ultiboard serial number.

I have a similar problem with Ulti route.
I am retired.
But my old company has asked me , to revise an old circuit.
I have installed UltiCap , UltiBoard and Ultisim.

Installing UltiRoute causes an error ( Hasp ), because the new computer has not a LPT - output.
What can I do ?
