Hi,

My company gave me a new PC with Win2000 where the user
programs cannot access the parallel port.

I have, however, some old control programs which I want to
use in the future and the parallel port is not needed for
other purposes (I use a network printer).

Therefore I would like to remove the port access
restriction. The system admin has equipped the PC
additionally with a boot manager and Win98 too but it is not
a good solution to shut down and boot again all th time.

Who has a good idea?

Thx
Thomas
