Hi all;
        I just received the following in email from DPS.  It concerns the NT=
=20
version 2.0 drivers for the par.  When i loaded the new drivers over the=20
weekend they would not start (i guess because i still had the beta version=
=20
drivers on my system - although not turned on). The tech support type told=
=20
me to follow the proceedure outlined below and then reinstall. He said that=
=20
it should be ok after that.  I also asked about still using the dos drivers=
=20
from time to time ( i use premiere under windows 3.1).  He said not to use=
=20
them. I asked how i would be able to use premiere with the par (since it=20
runs under windows and uses the par2avi and avi2par codecs.  He said he=20
didn't have an answer for that yet. So i guess i'll wait a little to upgrade=
=20
my premeire to nt version since i don't know how it will work with the par. =
=20
Anyway the procedure is below.  Good luck Nathan
