You can download the Hardlock drivers from our website here. Please keep in mind that DataCAD 12 has not been certified for use on Windows 8.1.

Nick,
I am trying to install V11 on a new windows 8.1 computer. Did you ever have any luck installing V12 on your computer with windows 8.1? If so can you direct me in the right direction?

Thanks
David Vanslette

Hi David,

I think that Nick upgraded to v16: http://forum.datacad.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=14061

In explore, go to the WOW64 folder and right click on hlvdd.dll. It may state that it is linked to an unknown program. If that is the case, try the Change button to direct it to DataCAD.
This is no more than a guess so consider that first.
Good luck,
Woody
