Why do I get an error message "Insufficient Free Space in Disk" when installing PCX1000?

When installing PCX1000 v.7.1 and the Hardlock Drivers under Win-XP, you may be getting an error message indicating there is not enough space on disk to install. This error message is generated by the hardlock driver install script, and can be avoided when running the file from the hard disk. Click on the link below to get detailed instructions on how to avoid this problem. Corrections are being made to avoid this inconvenience, and they should be corrected in release 7.2 (due Feb-2006).

Why am I getting the error message "Cannot find ///Fast hardlock driver" ?

If you are using a DEMO version of PCX1000 and get the following error message: "Cannot find ///Fast hardlock driver", you will need to install the HDD32.EXE driver to simulate a Hardlock.
