Hi Guys, gonna have to be a bit vague here but i am trying to get an Edge Cam (CAD/CAM software) to work on an upgrading machine for a friend, however the upgraded motherboard did not include an LPT1 Parallel port which is required as the software license key is held on a parallel port Dongle . After installing a PCI Parallel Card i am still unable to read from the dongle.
I think the problem is that the drivers for the dongle are trying to point to an on board LPT1 port but are obviously not finding one as it does not exist. Is there a way of editing dll files? Or is there a way of changing the port allocation of the card from LPT2 to LPT1?
The reason for the vagueness is because this is all theory as his computer is not in front of me so until it is i am unable to tell anyone if the suggestions work!
Cheers in advance
PS the Operating system is win2k SP4
