I need a parallel port on my new PC, and I happen to have an old (LAVA) PCI card - but win 7 (x64 pro) can't find drivers for it

anyone know where I can find any ?

Think you'll be lucky, I believe all 64 bit drivers need to be signed and that costs the oems dosh so they only do if they have to.

Maybe wrong though. I think it'll be a purchase of a usb to parallel converter if these are available in 64 bit.

Can only find this one that support 7 64bit

its for a security dongle and they don't like converters

Your buggered then, cheapo old lappy??

found an unsinged driver that seems to work hidden on LAVA's own site but the dongle software doesen't like win7 or x64 or something (not even with everything set for XP compatability)

I'll have to get the laptop (my one is that old - ideal for MJ tunning though) or one of the old PC's out, I could really have done with the extra punch of my i7 though

I could shove a spare copy of XP on a second disc, but that'd take even longer.....


-Thanks anyway

Parallel port and Windows 7 sound strange bed fellows....

cubase by any chance?

Have you tried letting windows 7 search for drivers itself by using add new hardware?

Robert its worth a punt to buy a newer model as its 20 quid

We have the same problem connecting to older equipment.... The serial port is a similar problem as these usb thingys dont work with 9600 baud ports.

Good to see you at the show

And upgrading 100 million bucks worth of telecoms equipment aint going to happen

Get the hardware IDs from device manager and put them into www.devid.info. If a driver is out there, this will let you get it.
