Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ok, my hard drive crashed recently and I had to rebuild. Somehow my PC decided its primary hard drive is going to be E:, not C:. That's fine, until I go to reinstall the Turn Entry program. The MSI knows where it is, everything works fine up until I try to run it, then some left-over hard-coded instruction tells it to look in C:. Anyone know how to update this program for this century?

Breoghan Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 In similar situations I like to swear extremely loudly and bang the desk with clenched fist. (It doesn't solve the problem, but I feel slightly better afterwards). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to come up with a drive C: is the easiest fix. (try to convince your XP/Vista, that he is running on drive C via the drive manager) Other option is only to get a HEX-Editor and search the entry program binary for C: and change it to the letter you want. Change *all* occurences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cestvel Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Silly, do not replace E with C, but C: with E: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Found a solution. I created a new directory on my E: drive and then mapped it to C: as a network resource. Reinstall the software on my new "C:" drive and voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
