Possible confusion with prior versions of the Keypad Upgrade Tool

If you downloaded the Keypad Upgrade Tool prior to September 28, 2004, it will be difficult to differentiate between versions on the Windows Start bar (Start | Astro-Physics). The version numbers were not part of the name. In fact, if two versions had the same name, the second one would not overwrite the one already loaded. The download process would appear to progress normally, however, when you select the Tool at the Start bar, the old version will actually come up. Since the version number did not display on the Upgrade Tool screen prior to version 4.1x, you can't tell what you are loading.

In order to correct the confusion, you must remove all prior versions of the upgrade tool. Follow the procedure shown below, which assume that you downloaded the files into the default folders.

Improvement to the Keypad Upgrade Tool

• Keypad Upgrade Tools will include the version number as part of the description at the Windows Start bar (Start | Astro-Physics | Keypad Upgrade Tool - v4.12 ROM)..
• The version number will display in the white box entitled xxxx on the loading screen.
