Well, I don't really do any woodrouting but I guess I can add some pics of the parts I do make. These are some of the things I've made and engraved for people. I have to do small items as I only have a taig mill which is the perfect size for the items I do. Some keychains, guitars parts, things like that-

Ok, got it loaded but it was the driver itself. What's weird is that an older version of the driver actually works better than the updated one in Standard mode.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised as that's nothing really new- 

Hmmmmmm......now what to hook up to this ........

Indeed I have, Kristin, it's almost as if in Standard mode, it doesn't "see" it yet in ACPI, it has no problem loading at all. Very weird to me.

Or wait a minute, do you mean I should uninstall it in ACPI mode and then try installing it in standard mode? Hmmmm, it's a shot but I figured that being in standard mode it would be a whole different hardware config, but definitely worth a shot.

Thanks -

My situation is this: I have added a second parallel port to my system for more I/O's and while in ACPI Mode (I have Win XP) the cards drivers load just fine but since I have to run my PC in "Standard" mode for the Taig CNC (Microproto 3000), the drivers will not seem to load. I thought I was pretty handy with a PC but I'm baffled why this is happening. Before getting the machine, I've never really had to run my PC in standard mode so I'm not very familiar with this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks-
Dave

lol! Very good, sir, I think if she's anything like my wife, she'll lower and shake her head and walk away mumbling about something like "that stupid $%&* -*&^%-*&^%.......etc.... "
