Problem Title:
XKEY 5.2 under Windows 3.11 does not see the key, but works fine under
DOS.



Problem Description:
There is only the Xilinx key on the parallel port.
XKEY 5.2 under DOS reads the key on the parallel port but XKEY under
Windows does not.


Solution 1:

There is a conflict with a windows driver on lpt1/lpt2.
This problem has been reported when the HP laserjet 5L driver is installed on th
e same port than the Xilinx key.

The workaround is to disable this driver.



Solution 2:

It has been reported that loading in the driver for 5M fixes the problem



Solution 3:

A solution to getting the HP6P printer to work with the xilinx key is installing
 the driver in EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) Mode .
