Re: Profiles

[deb bee <fffagel@yahoo.com>]

This is the status of my profile situation..I have an
new Epson 1280, with an MIS perpetual color ink set. I
have Monaco 1.5.3 EZcolor which was bundled with my
USB Epson 1680 scanner..and my OS is WIN2000 with
service pack 2....It appears that EZcolor 1.5.3 is
really not supported for WIN 2000. Also I seem to have
a problem using the 2001 it8 file with it, it will not
take it, it rejects it.  so it seems like it could be
a WIN2000 problem? so I thought I would  try it on my
little 98 machine and then do a duel boot on my
graphics station...When I installed EZcolor 1.5.3 in
WIN2000 the serial number window never came up, but it
popped up when I tried to install it under 98...it
would'nt take the serial number provided by Monaco.
I am breathlessly awaiting Monday morning when Monaco
opens....Some day I will be able to actually use my
Epson 1280, if I have any ink and paper left...
