I don't know what flex or MPLAB-ICE need from this port, but usually you
can set the properties manually either in the Device Manager or in the BIOS.

If you can't figure it out at all, and if you don't need the parallel port
for MPLAB (don't know their ICE), you can try to go back to your image and
install MPLAB as a user without admin priviledges. This should prevent
MPLAB from modifying any system settings.

Another helpful tool is Inctrl (version 5) from PCMagazine. It lets you
track all the modifications an application does during install. You then
know what has been done and should be able to undo whatever is a problem
for flex.
