Hi,
I've been out of the loop for a while, so I've got a question. I recently reinstalled protrak and updated the loco files. I tried to install update 360. I was asked to load my original cd and enter the registration number. I know I have to change this number for the update to install, but I don't remember how.

Okay.
I reinstalled ProTrak from the original disk(build 41) It ran well. I added the two locomotive files, for geared locos and steam locos. It still ran well. I downloaded update 360, and put it in the ProTrak folder. I clicked the icon and it seemed to install. I got a screen which asked for my key number. I entered the number, substituting 60 (for update 360) for the last two digits. I was then told it was an illegal key number. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
I placed Howard's file in the appropriate directory and I still got "illegal key number." I realized later that I had another computer with a later build of ProTrak (269 as opposed to 41 which was installed with the disk.) I put update 360 in the appropriate location and bingo! everything updated the way it should. I have since copied the entire updated folder to my current desktop machine, and it works there as well. Could it be that build 41 was too old for update 360 to recognize? In between there was build 60, 160 and 260. Anyway, I seem to have a working updated version now. Thanks again, guys.
