I have an original PET CD on loan but after I installed it it says that there is a hardlock error 304. Is there a work around for this problem ? DOes there need to be a hardware attachment of some kind to the PC ?

It also wanted to install at 1280x1024 which is not ideal on my monitor, anyone know if it can run at a lower resolution ?

Sounds like it requires a hardware key, probably a dongle that plugs into the parallel port on your computer. The version of 3D Studio Viz we use at work requires one, as did an older rev of a simulation package. Not sure how to work around it, maybe a registry hack?

manning is correct, the dealer was required to keep a unlocking tool on the parallel/serial port on their computer in order to use the pet. many other car companies also require something seemlier, ie Audi, VW. try this hack.

far as I know, there is nothing you can do about the res. the pet software is fixed to run at 1280*1024 or higher. the only opinion I see, it to set up a virtual res at 1280*1024.

Any help in setting me up with a copy of PET?

Had 5 now got 6 but with the same error... too bad this is not legal... Would be nice to have the latest copy... oh well... Not like we can discuss this stuff here anyway.

if you run a lower resolution the screen will be too big and you won't see all of what's on PET

I don't have a pet. I thought about getting a dog but I changed my mind.





Change the subject please.

Pete,

This is a really old thread that somehow made it back up to the top. Why not just lock it or ditch it.

Good idea.
