3. Click Tools, Options, View, Formatting marks, All
4. Click on the main window text area
5. Scan the card - it should display all the characters on the card. Try several times if intermittency is suspected.
6. Write down all the characters that were displayed.
7. Repeat the above at the other test station that does not work properly
8. The two should be identical. If not, then either the card is bad, the reader is bad, or the two readers are not programmed
the same.
If the card reads the same at each station with Microsoft Word, then also check whether our software is set to interpret the reader the
same way at each station:
1. Go out to a test station
2. Open our EsdTest program
3. Click Setup, Employee Selection
4. Note the settings
5. Click Edit Reader Parameters (if visible) and also note the settings
6. Repeat the above at the other test station
7. The two should be identical if the readers are identical.
If the problem still can not be located, make sure that:
1. The Names.txt file is the same at both stations (or that both are reading the same common Names.txt file)
2. The EsdTest software version is the same at each station (click Help About)
The new software does not allow me to select my old HID 5352 card reader that my older software used
The new software still indirectly supports old readers. Just copy your old EsdTest.ini file to the C:\EsdTest directory (or where ever
the EsdTest.exe working directory is located.)
When emailing reports I get a pop up box saying “A third party program is trying to send email in your name”
Microsoft recently added major security updates to Outlook 2002 which prevents other programs (such as EsdTest) from using it to
send MAPI email messages without popping up a warning message “A program is automatically trying to send email on your behalf.”
The solutions are:
• if your company is using Microsoft Outlook 2002 with Microsoft the Exchange Server, then have the administrator set up a
public Outlook security folder to disable the warnings (see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article # 263297)
• switch to Outlook Express (which is not fully compliant with Microsoft Exchange) or another MAPI compliant email program
• or switch to Outlook 2000 without the email security update,
• disable the messages by opening Outlook Express, clicking Tools, Options, Security, Virus Protection, and uncheck the
box that says” Warn me if other applications try to send mail as me.”
• or download ClickYes Pro from http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ and modify the Outlook security settings
• or download the free Express ClickYes program from http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ (Set it to always be
suspended)
• or install the ClickYesSetup.exe file included on the installation CD. This will automatically dismiss the message. (set it to
always be suspended)
What other security measures can I apply.
• Use the EsdTest Administrator password
• Put the EsdTest icon in the Startup menu to boot upon startup
• Boot-up in Windows "Guest" mode.
• Activate the EsdTest Administrator password.
• Get rid of all other program icons.
• Removing the shortcut keys from the registry (see Microsoft website).
• Lock up the keyboard
