Hi Mark,
Everything working now, thank you!
This is what I have done on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system:
- Uninstalled Bascom 2.0.7.6.
- Rebooted the PC. (After rebooting the registry was OK, no old TVicPort keys present).
- Installed as admin Bascom 2.0.7.6 without selecting "Parallel Port Support driver".
- Rebooted the PC. (After rebooting the registry was OK, no TVicPort keys present).
- Copied the file setupio.exe in the Bascom program folder and installed it from there as admin.
The used file setupio.zip/setupio.exe can be downloaded from this post: [url=http://www.mcselec.com/index2.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=59&page=viewtopic&p=59647#59647]LINK[/url]
Login to see it, if you don't see the file after login, press the refresh button of your browser.
After unzip, the size of the file setupio.exe is 380877 bytes.
- Rebooted the PC.

Results:
No more errors in the Windows system Log and the registry keys for the service TVicPort
look like much better now and most important, it is working as expected!
Below are some pictures how to configure and test the parallel port. I am not using
the parallel port to program the chips, so I have only tested if Bascom can drive the
pins of the parallel port.
The used PCI card is the EX-41150 card made by Exsys, more details in this message: [url=http://www.mcselec.com/index2.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=59&page=viewtopic&p=60097#60097]LINK [/url]
(Chip-Set: MosChip MCS9835CV)
The test (picture below) was performed with and without a pull-down resistor of 4.7k. Without
the resistor, when the pin was set to "1" the voltage was 4.97V, with the resistor (a load of 4,7k)
the voltage was 4.93V. When the pin was set to "0" (reset) the voltage was 0V with and
without the pull-down resistor.
Thank you again!
Best regards,
Luciano
