I had problems with my HP-APS 3 years ago because it would not accept the serial code. HP & X-Rite conferred, and a got a corrected code as well as a registry key to place in the right folder in XPPro. It worked fine since then, even with upgrades to HP-APS, as well as a switch to Win7 64-bit.
However, I had to do a clean install of Win7, as my previously-working version got corrupted. I now can't find my original HP-APS CD, so what I did was copy the HP-APS folder from my previous Win7 drive and put it into the equivalent folder. I also copied in the registry key, so that my Eye-1Display2 is recognized again.
I double-clicked on the HP-APS.exe icon, and it loaded in the demo mode. When I opened the Register dialog I saw the srial number for the colorimeter, and I entered the serial code given to me 3 years ago by X-Rite to correct the original incorrect code. However, after clicking OK, I got the same window back with a box added and checked: Use Proxy Server. Below was a space to enter Proxy Address, and one to enter Port. I tried ignoring this, unchecking it and not unchecking it. Either way I could not activate the HP-APS.
I know my f-stops, shutter speeds and ISO's. But I don't have the slightest idea of what to enterin those spaces, and I also don't know where to find the information.
Anybody here have an idea? I still have my old C: Drive with a mostly-functioning Win7, so if somebody knowledgeable reads this, I could probably find a way to copy the activation information from that drive to the current one.
Help!
