Bill, apologies for the delay in responding to this, I've had a busy week!
Also I have deleted the original posting so couldn't reply direct.
I had something similar after installing Userport. The only way I could fix
it was to un-install the Printer which had been assigned to LPT1. I only
have one LPT port anyway. It looks as though there was some conflict and I
could only have one or the other not both.
CW keying from LPT1 works prefectly now.

It sounds like the UserPort software is initializing as LPT1 so Windows is
initializing your real parallel port as LPT2. From there I can't help you
as I have not tried the software for CW.

Subject: [WriteLog] New User WindowsXP UserPort LPT Printer port problem
Spent the last few hours trying to get the cw interface to work. I am using
Windows XP Pro. I installed UserPort software and ran it to enable printer
LPT1, I verified in my hardware config that the base address in hex is the
same as the example. Rebooted, started WriteLog again and now the LPT2 port
under the port setup is avaiable (not grayed out) but I was trying to enable
LPT1.
LPT1 and LPT3 are still grayed out. I don't have an LPT2 installed.
What controls which ports are grayed out?
Why is it letting me pick LPT2 when when is not even installed? I tried
using this port anyway as a test, it does not key the radio.
Any suggestions?
