pci parallel_serial port in windows 7 vs xp

[Stuart Quirk]

The latest version. I'm not at my computer at this moment (and heading to a 
conference for the weekend) but it was a fresh install of windows 7 64 
 (because I swapped out the hard drive for a solid state).
So all up to date drivers and downloaded the latest eprime 2 (professional).
It runs the sample eprime programs fine but anything that attempts to 
access the serial or parallel ports crashes eprime. 

I'd read both that windows 7 is more restrictive in allowing access to that 
level of data I/O than xp so was wondering if swapping to xp would solve 
the problem or if it's a non-mother board pci card issue.
Sadly, I don't have a handy xp computer without mother board ports that I 
can pop the pci card in and play with (they all seem to be either windows 7 
or xp with mother board ports..but I thought that might help isolate the 
problem. Still waiting to hear back from pstnet support). I will post when 
I hear from them in case others face similar problems.
