Hi,

Try the dlportio driver. I've used it in the past with XP - PIC programmers, etc. :-)

Regards, mike.

My computer is only a year old and has one LPT and two serial ports. The only traditional thing that's missing is a floppy drive.

I found a WinIO library. Have you got any expreriance with that in Windows XP?
By the way of course in the newer computers haven't got LPT but it is not a problem. I want to use LPT to control a machine.
