PLC Direct with Lookout 4.0.1

I am running the following

Windows 2000
PLCDirect 250 with ECOM module on ethernet
Lookout 4.0.1
DSPlus software ($349) from Automationdirect.com (Beta now but shipping
soon)


I was having problems but all is working now all is working now.
Here is what I believe the problem was.

In Windows NT4 you can leave Lookout Direct or prior Lookouts on your system
and everything will
work just dandy. But this doesn't work in Win 2000 for some reason.

Here is what I did to make it work for me.

1. Uninstall Lookout, Lookout Direct, and DSPlus.
2. Delete all folders that uninstall left, (Probably not necessary, but why
not to be sure.)
3. Restart Win 2000
4. Install Lookout 4.0.1
5. Restart Win 2000 (Probably not necessary, but why no
t to be sure.)
6. Install DSPlus into same directory as Lookout 4.0.1
7. Restart Win 2000
8. Start Lookout 4.0.1 and all works perfectly so far.

This combination with the built-in Web capability of Lookout 4.0.1 is just
awesome.

Thought this might be useful to you in the furture.
