[Dx4win] Parallel Port settings

Greetings -

Is there a way to change the address for LPT1 (or any other ports) in
DX4WIN?  My new PC doesn't have any built-in parallel or serial ports, so I
got a plug-in card with 2 serial and 1 parallel ports.  Evidently, they do
not use the "default" Windows addresses for ports and DX4WIN cannot find the
parallel port for CW keying.  N1MM has the ability to change the port
addresses, so I was able to make that work, but I cannot find that setting
in DX4WIN.  The serial ports work fine with both programs.

Setup: DX4WIN v 8.05; WIN 7 home premium 64 bit; Gigabyte mobo with i5 CPU;
StarTech PEX2S1P552B port expansion card.

This is NOT an "lptdriver" or "run as administrator" problem.  I am hoping
to avoid having to buy another expansion card, presuming I can find one
which allows me to set the port addresses.

Thanks.
