Im having trouble getting the DOS version of the Miracle software to install properly under Windows 2000 or XP. Can this be solved?
Several visitors have reported that the installation program for DOS Miracle stops at the point of testing the keyboard connection when the serial cable provided with the Miracle DOS is used on a computer with Windows 2000 or XP as the operating system. The reason the Miracle install program is stalling is that Windows 2000 and Windows XP do not permit direct writes to the hardware (i.e. serial port in this case) of the sort that the Miracle DOS software uses to communicate with the keyboard via a serial cable. However, you can work around this. During the Miracle install, when it asks to test the serial port connection, either tell it no or keep telling it to test repeatedly. In the latter eventuality, the program will get “frustrated” after a while and ask if you want to proceed without testing. Tell it to proceed. The program will then install to completion, assuming there are no other problems. It still may not run properly at this point, but you can probably resolve that as indica
