How do I load the portio.sys file? An error message comes up telling me no action will take place until it is loaded.

Never heard of it - what program are you running - are you using any userlibs?

That should have been dlportio.sys, not portio.sys -- sorry. Apparently dlportio.sys must be running to operate PortIo. I have the dlportio.decls file plus the dlportio.dll file in userlibs. The program supplied by the portio.zip file (parallel.bb) opens up and attempts to execute then tells me dlportio.sys has to be running. I placed dlportio.sys in the windows\system32 file. Apparently this .sys file has to be running before I execute my .bb file. How do I load this .sys file? Just double-clicking on does not work.
