Guy, Can you confirm that the vichw11.* drivers are not supposed to be installed in the \drivers subdirectory for 8.03? I see them in every version prior to 8.03, and found a copy of vichw11.sys in my c:\windows\system32\drivers directory (Windows XP SP3). I just want to rule that out as a possible issue.
One other question: I'm not using the LPT port for anything. Am I correct that there is no reason to run the lptdriver.exe install?
