Oki hey there,

I'm getting pc freezing whenever i play battlefield 2142, happening everytime i play the game now, either 5 seconds in or 30 seconds in.

So, i look at the even logs and find an error eachtime my pc froze (due to times)

So we have:
Error: Service Control Manager

The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

And the link is a fat lot of good i dont really understand and doesnt give me a fix/cause.

So, any light here?
 
Look in your bios. I bet the port is disabled.
It was enabled at some point but is now disabled.
