I Updated from version 2 to the current lock down. I got the "No driver sensed installed. Run driver test" I was logged in as admin and I checked the box for driver install.
I am running xp sp3 on a intel quad core desktop. I was not having any issue until I updated. Is there a way to manually install the driver?
Thanks,
patrick

Have you run the driver test as it suggested? that should install the driver.

Driver test gives me the same notice I get during install. No driver sensed....
Thanks for weekend response

Weekend, whats that ? ;D
Try installing Mach over the top of itself again.

365 day work week is standard for me too ;)
I repeated the install three times now, ran the test each time as well. same results.

Ok, two things I would try, first is redownload Mach just in case you got a corrupt install, the other is go to device manager and see if there is a driver there, (Called Pulsing Engine if I recall), if there is delete it and then install Mach again.
I am presuming that it is a 32bit windows version you are running as you said you had previously had it running fine, but thought I would just mention it just in case you have just upgraded the computer as the Mach driver will not work with 64 bit operating systems.

No pulsing driver in list. And the fresh copy gives the same result. Windows is 32bit

Thats a strange one, what about reinstalling the older version you had to see if that works.
Hood

I appreciate the the assistance thank you.
I am not sure I can find the older version, but I will look. Is there an archive of older lockdowns?
patrick

Yes, go to the downloads page and scroll down to legacy versions. In the text there you will see a link to the ftp site and most older versions are on there.

Older versions are giving me the same notice. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled. I just keep getting the same notice. It had been working fine for over a year. I had updated before without issue. This time however something seems to have changed that is preventing that driver from being installed.

Cant recall anyone having that issue so really I am out of ideas, only other thing I can think of is disable any anti virus while installing Mach, but to be honest I dont see that would be the problem.
Maybe someone else will have an idea.

A few clumps of hair later I found that the device driver for the parallel card I have was not functioning. I don't see how the mach Update would cause that, but the events happened at the same time. Reinstalling the card driver allowed the The pulse test now operates successfully.
I deleted my licence though and I can't find the email it came in. Is there a way to retrieve it from art soft?
patrick
disregard I found the licence in the trash.
Now I have to go though and tune everything again. It is update to the current lock down though :)

Good to hear you found the problem. For future reference once you get things set up save the xml and licence file on another drive or a memory stick, CD or whatever, that way if your drive dies or any other problems you can get back up and running with all your old settings in a few mins.
