IMPORTANT NOTICE

The V64 update uses GMT for the internal clock in Map3D. When updating from V61 or earlier, it is strongly recommended that you install this update at the end of your work day as you will not be able to use Map3D until GMT catches up with your local time zone. For users that run Map3D on multiple computers with the same key, you must upgrade all versions so that the clock synchronisation is compatible. For users with multiple versions of Map3D, you must upgrade all versions so that the clock synchronisation is compatible.

Key problems?

Have a look at the SafeNet Sentinel End User Guide from Safenet Inc. (Rainbow Technologies) has released updated drivers for the SentinelSuperpro dongle. The latest Sentinel drivers can be downloaded from Thales website . These drivers support both 32 and 64 bit computers.

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.

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.
