    HELP : parallel communication under NT

    hello
    I've tried those routines like _oup(),.They all work good under WIN95 and WIN98, but not supported by WINNT.
    I also have tried
    CrearteFile()
    WriteFile()
    ReadFile()
    NT just not support.
    NT doesn't allow operate on hardware directly ,It always tell me that I have no privilege .
    What should I do under NT?
    THANKS!

    Well
    I'm using CreateFile, WriteFile successfully under windows NT
    and I can't agree NT doesn't support it.
    What I guess your problem could be, as you actually mentioned,
    are security problems.
    I work using full prilleges as administrator and there are no problems.
    So you should check security options.

    Window NT don't let to communicate directly with hardware and ignore functions like _outp() . You need to write kernel-mode driver to access ports under WindowsNT.

    However Win32 functions like CreateFile etc. work peferctly under any Win32 platform.
