I have an old MS DOS application which runs fine under Vista with one
exception.

How can I capture or redirect LPT1?
Does "Net Use" work in Vista

Thanks for your input

Kevin

Hi,

I don't believe that you can as Vista (and XP before it) do not allow for
direct control of the hardware by a program.
