"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. Can anybody offer any solutions please

I just bought a new emachine computer, and cannot get my printer to work, It has Window'sxp already installed. Also I cannot find "setting" on this computer. Will you help me please? Thank you, Maron S. Routhier

My printer is a "Lexmark 1000 color jetprinter. Thank you, Marion S. Routhier

How I fixed a similar problem. I have a NetMos MP9715 dual parallel card (bought about 6 months ago) which worked just fine on NT 4.0 SP 6. I just upgraded to XP Professional and the MP9715 was no longer recognized. I took the MP9715 original driver floppy which had a zipped driver set for Win2000. I unzipped the Win2K driver set to a new floppy. I I used the XP hardware wizard to install new hardware. The wizard found an "unknown" device in PCI slot 3 (where the MP9715 is). I told the wizard to install the "unknown" hardware and use my new floppy for the driver. I got some complaints/warnings that my drivers werre not blessed by MSoft, but I pressed on. At some point during the install, the wizard wanted a file named "parallel.sys" which was not on my floppy. I could not find parallel.sys on my XP machine. I then looked around on some other NT 4.0 computers and found parallel.sys. I made a floppy with an NT 4.0 version of parallel.sys. And fed that to the hardware wizard. The inatallation finished without further problems. The hardware wizard could now see my MP9715 (it was listed as a 9815 though - probably a NetMos firmware typo). The additional/new parallel ports are now visible as well. When I rebooted my XP box, I got an error message that Windows XP just handled some awful error, but XP kept on running just like Bill said it would. Since the only 'bad' thing I did was take an old parallel.sys file and install it on a new OS, I figured that was the problem. I copied a newer parallel.sys file from a Win2K machine (C:\WINNT\system23\drivers\parallel.sys) and copied it on to my XP machine. Now the machine boots with no errors and the parallel card seems fully accessable. I then deleted my Lexmark Z53 printer from the printer list and reinstalled it using "Add Printer". The printer (connected to LPT3 on the NetMos card) was discovered and installed. The printer works fine. For future use, I have built a special driver floppy for my XP box with MP9715 that has the unzipped Win2K driver set and the Win2k parallel.sys file. Note that I did not use downloadable Windows XP drivers for the NetMos card or the Lexmark Printer. If my approach had failed, I would have downloaded and used new drivers following the above process. Good luck.

Who can help me with installing a Netmos 9805 card on a Windows 98SE machine? I tried to install it many times but to no avail!!! That means that the card is recognised in Windows, but when i connect a printer to this card Windows is hanging all the time when starting up!
