XP does not like to have parallel devices, other than printers, on parallel
ports. XP , as with 2000 and NT, does not allow direect access to the
parallel port hardware. However, there is a special utility that gives you
direct access to the parallel port. I do not remember the name.

Look at Stomp Backup MyPC for XP compatible tape backup software.
