Hi all,
I have a client with an old DOS program which accesses a hardware security key connected to the LPT1 port. This program worked fine in Win95 and 98, but it will not function in XP (even if run in the correct compatibility mode).
The client's software, on start, needs to read the security hardware attached to LPT1. Is there any way to help the DOS program recognize the LPT1 port.
Thanks,
How about running the old DOS software on a virtual PC 2004 (it's free) installed on XP machine? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
worth a shot.
