Troubleshooting
Problem: I am installing a parallel port(s) and my system
freezes up when Windows tries to install the driver for
my printer port.
Solution: Enter your system bios, set the onboard parallel
port I/O address to 278h, save and exit. In certain
systems, the address 278h is reserved for ISA boards. So
when the PCI parallel port tries to capture this address,
your system gets confused and freezes up.
