How to install Plextools with Upgrade only
| Plextor Writer Discuss, How to install Plextools with Upgrade only at CD and DVD Writers forum; Hello! I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before or if this topic isn't allowed. I couldn't find it in a search. If one has only the Upgrade Version of the Plextools available, it can be installed anyway when a certain Key is present in the Windows Registry. File: Plextools.reg |

| Hello! I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before or if this topic isn't allowed. I couldn't find it in a search. If one has only the Upgrade Version of the Plextools available, it can be installed anyway when a certain Key is present in the Windows Registry. File: Plextools.reg Import the file into the Registry and the Update should work. Last tested with Plextools 1.15 (my original Floppy was damaged). db Last edited by G@M3FR3@K; 07-01-2005 at 14:52. |

| I have the American 708A and it didnt come with Plextools. I used this trick and downloaded the upgrade from plextor's site, and it works great. version 2.08 i think. |

| Does anyone know if the updates will work with PlexTools v2.01 that came bundled with my PX-W5224A (non-Premium)? I noticed to my dismay that this version does not support c1 c2 error detection in the CD Test module. I thought I might have read somewhere that this feature only worked with the Premiums at this time. Has anyone been successful using it with a non-Premium drive? |

Q-Check is only available in the Premium.

| You have to save the file as a .REG file and then execute it which will import the settings into your registry.

| Save it in your my documents folder. It doesn't matter if it's saved in the same place as your upgrade. |

| As I understand it, it is not legal to use just the upgrade, since you are only allowed to use the software if you own the original Installation-CD. |
