Subject: [WriteLog] Windows XP and parallel port keying problem


Hi friends!

I installed WriteLog on my new notebook under Windows XP home edition.
In order to key my transceiver in CW thru the LPT1 port I installed Direct
I/O, version 4.2. Then I opened the control panel of Direct I/O and
configured the programm for WriteLog.
I entered the resources for LPT1 as 378-37A.
Then I opened in WriteLog SETUP - PORTS and wanted to chose LPT1 for CW
keying. This was not possible. I only could choose LPT2!
Now I have the following situation:
My notebook only has LPT1, Direct I/O is configured with the numbers for
LPT1 but WriteLog only accepts LPT2.
I tried to key the transceiver anyway. WriteLog would send CW via the
parralel port, but the CW sounds interrupted. Dots and dashes have very
short breaks.
How can I fix the problem? Is there a special parallel port configuration?

Mni tnx es vy 73, Peter
