Bob, I recall I had a similar problem about 18 months ago and eventually found that if I uninstalled the printer driver on LPT1 I could then select that port. There must have been some conflict.

I downloaded Direct IO for the lpt port keying. Direct IO was the only drivers I could get to work. The problem is, if it is a problem, the ports setup has lpt 2 showing up instead of lpt1. I only have 1 lpt port that I am aware of. Any way to change this? All seems to be working through my DXDoubler ok. My ini. file doesnt show a lpt2 either. Any ideas would be nice to hear.
