parallel ports not working
After upgrading to XP, I cannot get anything connected to
the parallel ports to work. My printer works when connected with USB but when connected with a parallel port it is not found. Zip drive is also not found when connected via parallel port. Thanks |

Jim Jim Depends on the make of BIOS. Usually you press say F2 on boot up. The info should be in your computer manual. Be careful not to change settings in the BIOS unless you note the setting you are changing, otherwise you may end up with a machine which will not boot up at all Eric Booth |
