I think there are a couple of veterans of the Delta Towers War, prepressure. They'll be limping back in soon.   :undecided:

Fortunately, most of us have left that world far behind Prepressure. I used to roll the Delta, but man, it's been so long, I can't remember. You need to call Heidelberg.

Well, I just don't want you to feel we are not trying to help you. If I had the answers, or access to them, I would be more than willing to share. I am really sorry Bro. I do have an associate I see from time to time who is an expert on Delta. Unfortunately, he was laid off from AGFA, and has not been seen in some time. If he pops his head in, I will do my best to remember to ask him. Hang in there.

It's been a long time since I've used a Delta as well but looking at the error message it appears it needs the device driver for the delta loaded which if I remember correctly, would be a WIN NT 3.51 driver it's looking for. Do you have any drivers disks lying around anywhere for the Delta?
