I want to use Labview 6 to read parallel port but it could be possible only with Windows 95 or 98 (dixit the "Help" of Labview). How to do it with 2000 or XP?
The problem is not LabVIEW itself.
In Windows XP (and 2000 I think) access to hardware like the parallel port is very restricted by Winows.
Many other programs which uses direct access to the parallel port won't work with Windows XP, but works fine with Windows 95, 98, 98SE and ME.
For some programs the problem can be solved with a special driver/dll for the parallel port.
Try to search google for the problem.
The problem has nothing to do with the programs themselves, but with the way the new Windows versions encapsulates the parallel port.
