If the problem really is whether the parallel port in ECP mode, you can switch to EPP mode in the BIOS. Is it possible that this could be my problem and I can change the port of older style? Any guidance is appreciated. I think what may be due to the fact that my new computer printer port is configured as instead of the lpt port ecp. I never had problems with the old computer recognizing the hasp key, but when I try to use this software on the new computer does not recognize the HASP. I am running a previous software (7.5V2 friendly technology FlexiSign Pro) program that requires a hasp on a parallel port key. I recently bought a Dell rebuilt to replace a running xp sp3 which had overheating problems with windows xp sp3. The printer port does not recognize hasp key get a parallel PCMCIA card (a bit expensive.) get a parallel converter cable / usb (not guaranteed) try to get your software vendor to replace your dongle with a USB version (possibly you will get a free) But there is no such port on my Satellite. It is protected with HASP dongle which should be connected to the parallel port (printer port). I need to work with Solid Works software.
