On the other hand, it worked first time here (XPpro and N1MM) and 
continues to do the business. It also works with the N2PK vector network 
analyser, which uses a fair selection of the parallel port pins.

The .dll and .sys files are exactly where you reported to the N1MM list, 
Clive. The only difference might be that when we both used the new v5.8 
installer, the program was already installed and working on my system, 
while it wasn't on yours.

Can you confirm that the list of installed programs does include 
"DriverLINX Port I/O Driver"?  (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add 
or Remove Programs)

Since nothing went wrong here, I can't help much more than that... but 
no doubt N1MM can.
