Parallel port controlling

[Tom]

I have an example program using out port.vi which works really well on
W98. I tested it by connecting LEDs to the printer port. However, the
application has to run under Windows XP. I have Labview v6. Do I need
Labview v7 or some extra drivers or will it work ok once I have the
new base address?

thanks

Tom

Thanks Ian but it makes no reference to Windows XP in there - only Wondows NT and Windows 2000. Will it work on XP?

Windows NT, 2000 and XP have the same base technology. Most of the facts are the same. 2000 and XP are nearly identical in the kernel so all things running under 2000 will run under XP especially in the home edition. The difference between 2000 and XP lies in the new user interface, the product activation and the changed security policies. All code that runs under 2000 will run under XP if you have the neccessary rights.

On top of that, remember that you need to install the accessHW files by running setup.exe to make direct access to memory available.
