It's a bit of an effort, but well worth it.
----------------------------------------
The following is the procedure if you run into
problem installing under Win2000:
-----------------------------------------
The only issue encountered to date between the
products has been related to the Security Block
drivers. In order for the
block to be recognized, the steps outlined in the
Ntreadme.wri file located in the
Omega\Prog\Drivers\NT directory must be completed. The
text of this file is included below. In addition, the
following lines must be added to the system.ini file
as the first two lines under the [386Enh] Section as
follows:
[386Enh]
device=ssiact.386
SSI_LPT=1
1 is used for LPT1, 2 for LPT2, etc. if the block is
attached to a port
other than LPT1.
Text of Ntreadme.wri filedirectory is located in the
Windows directory, not WINNT as outlined below. Please
use the Windows\SYSTEM32 or Windows\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\
directory where applicable. Manual Installation
of the Security Block under Windows NT The following
is a list of
instruction on how to manually install the drivers for
the Security Block under the Windows NT operating
system:
Step 1
Copy the following files located in your
OMEGA\PROG\DRIVERS\NT directory to
the WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory:
SSIDDDP.SYS

OMEGA\PROG\DRIVERS\NT directory to
the WINNT\SYSTEM32\ directory:
SSIVDDP.DLL
Step 3
Add the following line to the CONFIG.NT file in
Windows NT WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.
DEVICE=%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\SSIDDDP.SYS
Step 4 Locate your MS-DOS prompt. At the prompt type
the letter of the drive in which your Omega directory
resides followed by the colon and the pressing Enter
or Return key.
Then Type in the following line followed by pressing
the Enter or Return key.

If you are installing your Security Block on LPT1,
STOP HERE and restart your computer. You have
completed the installation of the Security Block. If
you are installing the Security Block on
another LPT port continue with the remaining steps.
Step 5
Locate your MS-DOS prompt. At the prompt type the
letter of the drive in which your Omega directory
resides followed by the colon and the pressing Enter
or Return key.
Then Type in the following line followed by pressing
the Enter or Return key.
