There are a number of controls out there that will work under XP. I THINK the one I used to use was call TVicPort or maybe just VicPort and it had a Delphi interface. There was another one too who's name I cant think of, but if you have done so already, have a look on www.torry.net.
For XP they wrote a device driver I seem to recall because as you have pointed out, the direct hardware connection was removed in XP.

I want to use the parallel port to control my hardware to make a battery reconditioner. NiCd and NiMh. I'm looking for an easy programming solution. Should I stick to Windows98 and have direct access to LPT1: or XP and add in the required patches? I'm using Delphi 4 Cheers Wallace.
