hello community,
first of all im sorry for my bad english.
but now to my problem
im running a VM on Windows 7 HP x64 with Windows 98.
I installed the VMware Tools.
The only Problem is had was the PCI Bridge to Bridge Loop. Well i solved this and everything is fine but the Printer.
i can install the Printer without any Problems. Win98 accepts the Driver and the Printer is also listed in device Manager.
The software im using does only work with Windows 98 and a LPT Printer.
so in Windows 7 the Printer can print but when i try to connect the LPT port into the VM i get the error message:
"The LPT1 device is used by another program. Failed to connect virtual device parallel0."
I used every help i could find on Google. i spend already about 1 week into this Problem.
i have no more ideas what i can do and hope now u can help me.
i added the .vmx file, i think you will Need this
