Title: I`m trying to read write to LPT1 under XP but the system is ignoring my commands
Post by: tester dave on July 21, 2011, 02:07:39 AM

and sending a error messge illegal memory access unable to continue.
I have read that the later software packages all fail under NT because they have a cutout that prevents access to ports.

Is there a software library I can add to my C compiler library to allow me to access the port LPT1.

I need a plugin one as an #include < > format because I am  hardware man not a software person.

HELP I`m tearing my hair out with a GNU C/C++ IDE which works fine in its own way.
