Hey all. I would post this is the small projects section, but I am new and that requires 25 posts. I am trying to turn on leds form the // port and am running into a snag. It works fine from my xp machine, using a inpout32.dll, but in the win98 machine I will be using it does not.
-I had to use a different inpout32.dll version
-All LPT/ECP addresses are the same on both machines
-I can read then write to the address, but the leds do not light.
-The computer says the port is functioning correctly.
-Program is in VB under excel.
-Looked for other posts about this, and found some good ones, but none seemed to address this problem.
Is it possible the port is bad, but the registers are still working? Have spent hours and cant get anywhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
