Is it possible to get direct access to parallel port pins under Windows NT? What can I do

to get such an access under NT? I found Write to Parallel Port.vi but I can`t open it. The error that occurs is:
resource not found, error occured while loading the vi, labview load error code 8: could not load vi ressources.
This vi is from 1994. Maybe the source of trouble is that I`m using version 5.1.1 or it is a problem with NT. What do you think?

Parallel Port.vi can only be used in DOS-Systems (like Win9x, WinME ;-). NT does not allow writing to parallel port with low level routines. It is more useful to use the digital port that is on most of the DAQ cards.
Some more informations on parallel ports: http://www.lvr.com/parport.htm
In general it seems to be possible. Somebody told me just to use the write port command with the address of the parallel port. Another way seems to be to tell NT to allow direct port access - but I don't know how.
