Default ETKA Problem "Hardlock not present"

To those of you out there using the FA - help. I installed the FA from a zip file I came across. Everything appeared to uncompress and install properly, however, when I double click on the ETKA icon I get error message 304 that states hardlock not present. I have copied that program (hardlock.exe) to the root directory c:\, the program directory and the program root directory and then rerun ETKA but still get the same message. If I just execute the hardlock program by itself the program opens and then computer hangs up. Any suggestions on where to place that program and how to execute ETKA?
Thanks,
Mark

You need to copy two files from the de-compressed installation folder to the ETKA program directory.
Click on My Computer, then on the ETKA folder( the folder where the original compressed file was). Click on the folder called EPC_PROG.W95.
Find the two files LEXHDL5.DLL and LEXHDLL5.DLL
Highlight these, and COPY (right click, select Copy)
Now, go back into My Computer, then your C: drive, then click on the directory `epc_prog'. Go to the top toolbar, next to File, click on Edit, and the Paste. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the two files already there, say yes.
Close all the windows you've opened, and try it again. Click on the Start Menu, Programs, ETKA5, EPC5. As long as you have your resolution correctly set at 1280 x 1024, everything should be fine.
