I have a few 32bit Appslication that detect during install that my OS is 64bit XP (Which it is). My question is Is there any way to forse those applications to install any ways? The apps in qestion I have already checked and there is not 64bit version. The one I am trying to get to install right now is Spyware Doctor v5. My OS is Windows XP SP2 (64bit) Many thanks, GoogleDude

I found this. I will have to see if I can get my work to cut the tab. http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/produ...act_match=exact GoogleDude

I googled "ExpressCard to LPT" and didnt come up with much. You have a link maybe? Thanks again, GoogleDude

WOW. Converting a converter. I think that will get me into more trouble then this is worth. I was just hoping that I would be able to tweak a windows driver so I could use my USB 2 DB25 cable. But I guess that aint gona happen. Thanks a ton thoguh. GoogleDude

Well im up $hit creek with out a padle because my new laptop does not have any PCMCIA slots in it. I have a Compaq Presario v3020us. Maybe any other Ideas? Thanks again for your thoughts. GoogleDude

Anyone know of a way I can tweak a Windows Driver or anything so I can make Windows XP see this cable as a LPT1 Port and not a USB Printer Support? I am not using this cable for a printer but rather a different purpose. This is the one I have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B0...p;s=electronics GoogleDude

I am not too sure that many (If any) PC's will support booting from a SD card! You will have much better getting XP installed (in a round about way) on a USB Flash Drive or External USB Drive! I have a 4GB U3 Sandisk that I have XP booting from it, make life so much easier. GoogleDude

So far I have tried 2 of them 1 of them is some no name brand its just a simple cable with USB on 1 end and DB25 female. I would think that I can just tweak the driver that xp uses or do some reg hack? The problem is I am not hooking a Printer up to it. And right now as it stands my device wont work. Thanks for the sugestion, GoogleDude

I am new to this form so thank you for any help that you all can provide, a friend of mine said there are some really smart people here! I have a Compaq Presario V3032 Laptop running XP SP2 and it does not have a female 25pin LPT Port like my desktop does and I need one. So I went online and purchased a USB to 25pin female cable which gives me the physical port I need but the only problem is that Windows XP see's it under Device Manager as a "USB Printer Support" and not a LPT1 port. It only came with Windows 9x drivers the readme on this cable said Windows will install/contain the drivers. which it did but only the wrong one. I have even tried a Targus Port Replicator but even it shows the same thing. So my question is: How can I get Windows XP to see it as a LPT port and not USB Printer Support? I tried changing the driver under Device manager but it would always give Error 10. Many many thanks for any help one can provide, GoogleDude
