Parallel port on a XP PRO Machine
DYNAGOD:
if it were up to me we would never upgrade it. its run FLAWLESSLY for well over a decade.
But the powers that be need all the machines in the shop to use xp pro to utilize the latest Shoptech E2 release.
That being said, we also need to be able to do backups on the CNC library to the master server in the shops office.,
The Sim is green /

and their address (they are long our of business)
Its not a sentinel to my knowledge but it may be licenced in such a manner as not to say.
ive gone into the bios (its a dell so) and there isnt much.
trying to change the type thru the device manager,but that yields nothing but enhanced.

alot of motherboards allow you to change teh parrallel port type via teh bios.
might wanna try that
DYNAGOD:
found a couple programs that allow a process to have Ring0 access to the ports.
Direct I/O and PortTalk
0x378 -0x37B is LPT1 so all should have to do is point to the exe and give that resource priority.
im awaiting my pci parallel port card to arrive today from officemax.
seeing as how i cant configure the one on the mobo to be standard, i figure ill have a better chance of installing a new one with the options i desire.
SirPoonga:
you will probably need to do two things. You can change your parallel port from epp to spp in bios. You might need a program that "unlocks" the parallel port for the dos program. XP handles parallel ports different than dos, windows 9x.

that must a direct decendent of one of the programs i listed above, even the rhetoric of the decription sounds like they were written by the same individual.
