[Dx4win] LPT1 with XP

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 19:55:34 -0400

This is not correct!!!

The driver for XP is different for XP/NT than Win 98... You do NOT need
Userport... Tom is probably thinking of Writelog... Which does need
Userport...

Which is not to say that Userport won't work... It's just not necessary.

Also, ignore suggestions to re-install... That's also unnecessary...
Though it also works...

>From the DX4Win documentation (the last place anybody thinks of looking
;-):

for Win/95/98: 
 Windows\System\Vichw11.vxd  

for Win/NT/2000/XP: 
 WinNT\System32\Divers\Vichw11.sys 

I've attached the driver to save you the trouble of extracting it...

Just put it in the indicated directory... You should probably delete
vichw11.vxd if it's on your system...

(Attachment removed for reflector)

Ted,

XP cannot address the port directly.  Download and install USERPORT and
all will be well!
