Thanks for all the input on installing the ETKA (EPC5) into XP.

After a couple of weeks of trying out all of the suggestions I received
individually and in combination, this is what ended up making the program work:

Copied the whole EKTA CD-ROM contents to my hard drive and installed it from
there.

Installed the complete program on the hard drive.

Copied the files "lexhdl5.dll" and "lexhdll5.dll" from the EPC_PROG.W95 folder
on the CD to the epc_prog folder on the hard drive, replacing the files with
the same name that were there.

I kept getting the hardlock errors when I tried to run the program and when I
ran hardlock, I would get disk errors.

Overall, I spent more time installing ETKA that I did putting in my water pump
last weekend.

Happy Holidays.
