IO Ports should NEVER be accessed directly on a multi-tasking operating system. (If direct access takes place, multiple application can access the port simultaneously, leading to crashes in the best case...) If it runs under a Windows NT as a non-administrator user, this is not the issue... You might be able to bypass it by using a wrapper that sets up IO permissions using http://linux.die.net/man/2/ioperm and then starts the Wine program.. (It would probably need to run as root) Not sure if that would be able to bypass driver issues... >> fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"vkvxd.vxd".

Or the parallel port only works if it is access by the proper interfaces, not directly by an application doing stuff that only the kernel should be doing... Gert
