Determined who is accessing LPT port during boot

[h.wulff]

Hello,

is there a way to determined who is accessing the lpt port during boot?

I use PonyProg to programm a AVR microcontroller. But PonyProg is unable
to find the microcontroller.

This problem only occurs on one computer. And now I want to know which
programm/service is taken the lpt port.

Anyone got a idea?
Or what else can occur this problem?

In the setup on the ponyprog tool bar, you can probe the parallel
port to see if it is connected to a hardware programmer and let
you know if ponyprog can control the parallel port pins. I've
tried making my own AVR programmer and using ponyprog, but
haven't had any luck even though I can conrol the parallel port
pins on the XP box using userport and things like debug, and
ponyprog says the programmer is working OK.
