Phew

Its been a long while since I ran TDS-3 because I just kept moving and moving. Now I'm getting back to normalcy... I can just fire up my old TDS-3 and update it?

 

Hi Zhen... short answer.. YES..

But grab the latest Update.cfg file..

Cheers, Adrian.

ROFL.. Paul beat me!

 

Hi ZX!
Yes, if it's still on your system and the keyfile in the TDS directory all you need to do is press the Update TDS databases now! and your database should be updated. Do you remember when you installed aproximately the version you're running now?
As halfway 2003 there was a small update on the program itself.


Now that's support! three at a time and fortunately all the same content.

 

Yes it hasn't been run since early early last year.

 

No problem, fire it up, press update button -- ahhh you might have to grab from the link Tassi posted first of all before you fire up TDS the update.cfg file, put it in the TDS directory, once you are in that place after dropping that file there click the update.exe, still with TDS down, it should now use the mirrors from yoour new update.cfg file! and when update is finished fire up TDS so it will use immediately the new databese in all startup scans! saves you several minutes and a restart
Let us hear (read) how it goes!

 

Thanks Jooske.. long time no chat. How's life?

Anyway, I'll perform those steps when my HD goes back online.

 

Heya Paul ZX

There was a little update somewhere at the end of last summer (well, what we call here in Holland "summer" ).
Somewhere around July/August 2003.

If you like and don't have it: grab it .
Some short notes about a few changes:
1.
It adds an entry to your HOSTS file to make the F5 keyboard-shortkey function again.

2.
Check whether you have the TDS-3 sub-dir xDynamic\TDS.data
You need it to function the CRC32-test properly (on a few systems it wasn't added).

Warm regards, Jan.

 

Thanks! I'll check soon as I get the rest of the systems online. Now I know what to expect.

 

You can install over the installed one, but if you like a fresh install mind to save your keyfile away and all personal data files/folders, if you just updated the update.cfg and new radius.td3, and a few more, mind that in the new TDS download the scripts and speech parts are not included and need to be grabbed and installed separately, also the graphic bars are a separate file now and the newest you get from the bar graphics thread here in the forum, where the guys create even more beautiful work by the day!
Oh and if you would decide a new install also save the configuration and scan settings files
But installing over the existing one is not a real bad idea either in most cases.
