I'm having problems in running portalk.sys on win7 32bit...
when I test porttalk I get this error
'Unknown Error While Starting Service. Service was NOT Started'
and Megabuild doesn't get the parallel port...
(UAC is disabled)
Any suggestion?
🙁
get help from the portalk developer site.
Edit, sorry that seems hopelessly out of date
There is a report that it works New Motherboard without LPT. How to use porttalk with LPT on PCI
my problem is on running porttalk.sys as service...
in Vista I get no error, but in win7 32bit I cannot start correctly the service...
here I found some suggestions,
http://psychtoolbox.org/FaqTTLTrigger
but without a solution ...
still the service porttalk is not running...
🙁
I solved with some coding, porting InpOut32 64bit driver to the dosbox megabuild, substituting porttalk to access lpt under 64bit systems.
thanks to the help I got in the forum 😀
