What might be wrong? Try K2QMF's procedure: 1 - Open the Direct I/O control panel. 2 - In the I/O Ports Tab enter the BEGIN and END address. For LPT1 it is 378 and 37A. 3 - Click ADD button ( This is the step they left out).. 4 - Go to the SECURITY Tab 5 - Click BROWSE button and locate writelog directory. 6 - From there locate writelog\Programs\WriteL32.exe and click OPEN 7 - Click ADD. 8 - Close Control Panel...
