For those of you trying to get a parallel LCD working on 64bit Vista with InpOut (x64 version), it will not work.
I ported InpOut32 to XP/2003 x64 but unfortunately Vista x64 requires ALL device drivers to be signed (using a commercial Verisign certificate which is not available (AFAIK) to anyone but commercial software companies - and is not cheap).
So basically, InpOut32/x64 will not work in Vista x64.
Port95NT will not work in any 64bit OS as its only a 32bit driver.
So if you have a parallel LCD and want it to work in Vista, stick to 32bit. My port of InpOut32 (here) can be installed in Vista 32bit (requires a UAC elevation) and used thereafter without UAC elevation - although I guess LCD Smartie requires elevation for other things anyway.
If anyone does find a way to get it going on x64 please let me know - I will do likewise.
Thanks,
Phil
