Win2k does not allow direct access to any hardware port, you must access
hardware through a driver. It looks like the program is trying to access the
port directly. There is no way around this without rewriting the app. I
suggest you either use another machine with win9x or winMe on it, or set up
your current machine to dual boot into win9x or winMe. TTYL
