I'm writing a program that interfaces with a device through the Parallel port. I know in XP the direct I/O is disabled, and I can't use outp and inp. Right now I am using TotalIO as a workaround, but I wanna know if there is a "right" way to do this. I have read to use "CreateFile" and I see a lot of examples using COM1; but following those examples but replacing LPT1 for COM1 doesn't seem to work. Thanks
