"I am experiencing difficulty with my hardware after installing Windows Home XP. My motherboard is Asus AV7133 with an AMD Athlon 1.2 GH processor. I have sound blaster live card and Nvidia Geforce 2 MX graphic card. I also have a Netmos 9705 PCI serial port card. It is this Netmos hardware that is causing me a problem. After upgrading from ME to XP I had difficulty Installing the hardware. A quick trip to NETMOS and download of XP drivers saw the hardware installed without a hitch. When I check systems ports NetMos is showing as (NetMos 9705 PCI Parallel Port (LPT3). A check of systems shows that the device is Enabled and idicates that the device is working correctly. My problem is that I can not get either of my printers (Epson 640 & HP LASERJET 6P) to operate using the NetMos 9705 parallel Port. Both printer are fine and function properly when connected to LPT1. Can you assist me with this problem.I have tried using printer properties and pointing the printer to NetMos but to no avail. I have installed and uninstalled NetMos several times but to no avail."
1/ The card is NetMos Professional I/O controller and is used to enable additional printer connection to my PC. I have two printers as described above and did not want to use a switch controller.
2/ I am using the parallel port on the motherboard successfully with both printers but not at one time of course.
3/ The card functioned perfectly well under Windows ME. I am unsure exactly how the card displayed in devices other than it display as Netcom
4/I have Windows 5.1 (Build 2600. xpclient,010817-1148) This the full home version
5/ I did a full install over the top of Windows ME which warned me all my data would be lost if I continued. I backed up my addresses and documents and let XP do a full install.
In simple terms XP is recognising the Netcom PCI card but not the printer device that is connected to it. I have downloaded your new driver which was necessary to install the PCI card. I've removed and reinstalled it several times in including changing from slot 2 on the mother board to slot 3. This was a desperate move on my part but to no avail. I had occasion to reinstall windows ME on 3 occasions and never experienced any difficulty with the card.
