PCDMIS won't open on Romer!

I recently got a new computer for my Romer Arm. I loaded Win RDS and PCDMIS 3.7 onto my new laptop following all the instructions, but when I open PCDMIS I get a error saying "interfac.dll will not load". Does anyone have any suggestions?

    First off, ensure that the ROMER is communicating with WinRDS (Cimcore Arm Utilities) before interfacing with PC-DMIS.

    Next, if you are using WinRDS 4.3 or older, there is one step you must perform manually to get it working with PC-DMIS. Go to your the Control Panel in Windows and double click on System (or right click on My Computer and select Properties). Click on the Advanced tab and click the button Environment Variables. Under System Variables, highlight the variable 'Path' and click on the Edit button. Keep everything that is already in the path, but add a semi colon ';' to the end (if there isn't one already) and copy and paste the following after the semi-colon:

    C:\Program Files\CIMCORE\WinRDS

    Click OK to accept all changes in every window that is currently open. That's it!

    For the record, I highly recommend PC-DMIS versions 4.1 - 4.2 MR1 when using ROMER arms.
