Release Notes

USB drivers: If you have a DataMate II, which has a USB port, you must install USB drivers too. The USB drivers do not work with earlier DataMates. Instructions for Installing USB Drivers

If DMM is already installed: Please uninstall earlier versions of DMM before you update. You will not lose any data, since data is stored in .mdb files and not in DMM itself.

Check your version: Start DMM to verify that you are running the latest version. The title bar shows: DMM for Windows (Version nn.n.nn).

Check your DigiPro: If you also use DigiPro, check that you have the latest version of that program.

 

 

Installation Notes for IT Techs

Both DMM and DigiPro write operational data to their application folders, regardless of where the customers' database is located, so WinXP Pro users must have read and write permissions to the program folders.

There are 3 default user groups created by WinXP and Win2k: Administrators, Power Users, and Users. Of these, Administrators and Power Users have the required permissions.  The Users group only has read permissions. This means that a user should at least be in the Power Users group to use DMM or DigiPro.  A user who is not either in the Power Users or Administrators group needs to be assigned write permissions to the program folder.

On corporate Domain networks, a user is logged into a domain (network) account.  By default, a domain account is using only guest permissions on the local machine.  The administrator will need to add the domain account to the Power Users group on the local machine.
