OK because my main computer went bonkers am haveing to resort to an old laptop that I once used. It has the program already installed and was used at one time. This computer is a Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop
Sorry know this is a long drawn out afffair but here is the problem
my plotter master xy300p is also set up in the program. I have both serial and parallel port to the computer and have both cords that I can use from the plotter. However if I use the LPT1 port the computer just locks up
If I try the serial port on any com 1, 2, 3, or 4 it says something to the effect that it isn't right config. Now if I go to the control panel and device manager it only shows a LPT 1 port and no com ports.
I can not reload the soft ware as I have lost the disks so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sondra Peterson
