In fact, most of them are just printer ports, not real (bidirectional) parallel ports. However, for a little more many there are some that at least claim to be real parallel ports, however these will tend to be not USB but express-card slot devices. A lot of old software, and some equipment can not sue a printer port, full parallel port is needed. This would be true of any dongle (if you are saying the parallel port has dongle?

XP Mode allows you to run an XP VM on your Windows 7 host. This is an actual REAL VM. Everythign that applies to a real computer applies here, requires backup, antivirus, Windows Updates, etc. XP compatiblity mode is NOT a VM. It deals with application compatiblity and allows you to use SHIMS. Shims intercepts API calls from an application to the Windows OS. A common shim is a WindowsVersionLie Shim. Say you have an application that was written to perform an OS version check on start up. It is common for the developer to code and IF statement that says. If OS version is EQUAL to Windows XP, etc. But what heshe should have coded is "If OS version is EQUAL to OR GREATER than Windows XP, etc. If coded incorrectly an applicaiton that would run just fine on Windows 7 (if not for the version check) would never start. The VersionLie shim simple responds back to the application and says Yes I am running Windows XP. This then allows the application to start. So XP Mode = a full Windows XP VM Compatiblity Mode = shimming of an applicaiton that is NOT a VM Hope this helps I believe the title of this page should say “Windows XP Mode” NOT “Windows XP Compatibility Mode” because they are two different things.

I purchased a new laptop which doesn’t have a parellel port. If I purchased a cord to try and connect to a USB if it will even recognize the card reader which has a dongle attached. If anyone has any clue on how to help or where I can go to ask for help, I would greatly appreciate any comments.

I have an older embroidery machine that requires XP to run. It also requires a parellel port for the card reader. I did contact Husqvarna about a patch and they basically told me I had to purchase the $2500.00 new software, that they were not going to do any patches for this machine.

From the software developer point of view id does not look too great. 1. Microsoft can now remove old 'baggage' of API creating new OSs claiming that it is fully compatible with older ones anyway using VirtualPC 2. Older programs will be immediatelly moved into virtualPC domain which means that they will run way slower and will be more cumbersome to be used effectively forcing developers to release quickly for each new OS... :-( Hmm.
