[:(] you only need to do this if you dont choose 'enabled' or 'yes' to the is o/s plug and play enabled choice in most bios "somehwhere there" [:0] then some people still have problems if you also use printers on the same port h**p://www.forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/1121881.htm this is the reason for that simple disable the printer port spoller service in windows most drivers for printers just use there own and its not arbitory to the port just port activated however windows spoller runs all the time .... better disable this service to use programmers that are time domain sensative where lpt is being also hogged and checked by services other than plug and play... as i said if you enable plug and play o/s setting there is no need to disable detection as this is done once when you boot and once when you plug something in{terminate stay resident}as part of plug and play drivers..... if you use non plug and play settings your machine will use physical drivers and not virtual sockets & WDM windows driver models ... given the added spooler service a latched physical driver will be at a major priority disadvantage so remove the spoller no matter what then set the bios the right way and reboot twice... before tests coincidently the microsoft default fax and file drivers both reuse the spoller service till its disabled and they are then free to use for 'other things' i just delete all drivers and disable the service's use plug and play enabled ..in bios... setting if you install windows without it set the plug and play detection'legacy' is unticked by default when you look at the device manager lpt drivers .. if you enable plug and play o/s and install windows say xp its then enabled{ticked} by default ie windows picked up the bios plug and play ' virtual sockets 'address ranges and sets up the drivers... for you this can be done by as i said enable it in the bios boot up then reboot simple!!!! in xp / win NT/2000 etc click start and run 'NET STOP SPOOLER' you can also use this command or NET START SPOOLER too restart it you can set the 'print spoller' service in xp to manual right click my computer choose manage enter services and change the print spoller to manual then you can start and stop it as needed ie if you have a big printer job of 10 or more pages etc ... start it if not why have it using time and memory and not at bills whim... and dont forget to enable apic v2 tables with later than p3 machines.... or youll have no virtual addressing and this will slow a machine by 25% [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
