Thank you Jeff and Gerry. Gerry, when you said "neither" did you mean neither parallel port nor external motion controllers will work on windows 7 64 bits? Thank you.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Windows 7 32bit and Mach 3

Hi, I am using windows 7, 64bits. I have installed parallel ports in my cpu. I have read in forum that mach3 wont communicate via parallel port in windows 7 64bits. I am curious if the parallel port is not compatible because their cpu did not have it or 64 bit does not support parallel port at all for the mach3 communication even after the installation of the parallel port in the cpu?
After installation of the mach3 software, the driver test kept giving me error "Driver not sensed". Other than using external motion control, is there any other ways to get the software to work, given that I have already installed the parallel port in the cpu (windows 7, 64 bit)? Thank you very much for your feedback.
