This page allows licensed
Map3D users to download the latest update.
Updates are regularly posted
as modifications and corrections are made. The
details you enter in
this form will be used to keep track of which
release of Map3D you are
currently using so you can be notified of any
bug fixes, modifications
and/or updates.
Windows
64bit
problems? The first thing you need
to do is to enable
OpenGL Crosshairs. This is done by checking
"Tools > OpenGL
Crosshairs". You will also need to enable
support for AWE. AWE requires
"SE_LOCK_MEMORY" privilege. To enable AWE,
follow these two steps:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools >
Local Security Policies,
Local Policies > User Rights Assignment >
Lock Pages in Memory
> Add User or Group > Everyone. You must
reboot for this setting
to take effect. Finally you will have to
download and install the 64bit
Safenet drivers from the Safenet website at
http://www.safenet-inc.com/support-downloads/sentinel-drivers/
Windows
Vista
problems? The first thing you need
to do is to disable
"desktop composition" for Map3D. This is done by
right clicking on the
icon or menu item you use to start Map3D and go
to "Properties >
Compatibility" then check "Disable Desktop
Composition". All other
problems seem to be related to new security
restrictions. You may
have to set Map3D to run
with administrator privileges so
that Vista will permit Map3D to access the
hard disk. You may also
have to set macro security on low in Excel
so that Vista will
permit Map3D to run Excel macros.
Finally you may have to
download and install the Safenet drivers as
indicated in the next
paragraph.
Excel
problems? First thing to try is
executing "Detect and
Repair". This routine is located on the Excel
Help menu.
Key problems? Have
a
look
at
SafeNet_Sentinel_End_User_Guide.pdf
Safenet Inc. (Rainbow
Technologies) has released updated drivers for
the SentinelSuperpro
dongle. The latest Sentinel drivers can be
downloaded from the
Safenet website at http://www.safenet-inc.com/support-downloads/sentinel-drivers/
These drivers support both 32 and 64
bit computers.
Download
problems? These files are available
on an anonymous ftp site
as www.map3d.com/ftp/setup.exe
- www.map3d.com/ftp/map3d.zip
- www.map3d.com/ftp/Map3D.chm
- www.map3d.com/ftp/Map3D_Help.pdf
- www.map3d.com/ftp/Map3D_Help.exe
and can be downloaded using your web browser or
other FTP software
simply by logging in as an anonymous client.
Normally you only need to
download the updated executables (check the
radio button for map3d.zip)
as you do not need to update the help files and
sentinel drivers etc.
every time there are modifications to
Map3D.
For
optimum
performance
you will need
to
enable two
privileges for
the user:
SE_LOCK_MEMORY
- this is
required in
order for the
Map3D to use
the
MapUserPhysicalPages
api function
to access more
than 4GB
address space
using AWE.
SE_MANAGE_VOLUME_NAME
-
this is
required in
order for the
Map3D to use
the
SetFileValidData
api function
to speed
up file
writes.
To
set SE_LOCK_MEMORY
privilege
go to:
- In
WinXP: Control
Panel >
Administrative
Tools >
Local Security
Policies
- In
Win7:
Control Panel
> System
and
Security
>
Administrative
Tools >
Local Security
Policy
- Local
Policies >
User Rights
Assignment
> Lock
Pages in
Memory
> Add User
or Group >
####
- Here #### is
the user name
that you use
to log into
the computer.
To test this
you will need
to start Map3D
then go to
Analysis >
Options, and
check "P-ram".
Map3D will
execute the
LoggedSetLockPagesPrivilege
api to test
the
privilege.
To set
SE_MANAGE_VOLUME_NAME
privilege go
to:
- In
WinXP: Control
Panel >
Administrative
Tools >
Local Security
Policies
- In
Win7:
Control Panel
> System
and
Security
>
Administrative
Tools >
Local Security
Policy
- Local
Policies >
User Rights
Assignment
> Perform
Volume
Maintenance
Tasks > Add
User or Group
> ####
- Here #### is
the user name
that you use
to log into
the computer.
To
test this you
will need to
start
Map3D then go
to Analysis
> Options,
and check
"Drive 1".
Map3D will
execute the
LoggedSetManageVolumePrivilege
api to test
the
privilege.
