Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have my laptop that I have LOR downloaded on I am trying to get the LOR icon to run in my tray doesn't want to seem to work I can sequence everything view everything this computer is licensed with LOR I have the latest version, I can manually bring up the hardware utility and the verifier but can't get it to the trayThe second question I have is this is my laptop that I sequence with but I am thinking about using it as my dedicated show computer when the season arrives I can not seem to get a comm3 port on my laptop it will give a comm port 1 or 11I have tried to insert the USB install disk my computer will not open it up I have to manually open this up and even when I do this it doesn't show me to run the diskthis is not a panic as I am using my main computer for shows this year I am thinking about restructuring for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find it in the Light o rama group under programs.The second question I have is this is my laptop that I sequence with but I am thinking about using it as my dedicated show computer when the season arrives I can not seem to get a comm3 port on my laptop it will give a comm port 1 or 11 Why do you want comm3? As long as you run the Hardware Utility then auto configure for the comm port that is really all that should be needed to set the comm port for all of LOR. In the outside chance that is does not do for the sequence editor you can go into preferences, network preferences and manually set the comm port for the same port the HWU finds.I have tried to insert the USB install disk my computer will not open it up I have to manually open this up and even when I do this it doesn't show me to run the diskthis is not a panic as I am using my main computer for shows this year I am thinking about restructuring for next yearChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore60 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Don,That is correct. Once you run the HWU to auto configure the comm port, the software writes that somewhere. So once that is configured you can move sequences between machines and as long as the musical is linked to the sequence on the opposing machine all should play just fine.ChuckAs an additional note. IF by some chance your windows set the adapter above 16, LOR could not find it. THEN you would need to intervene and set it to a lower number. You should be good to go.Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
