Post by thread:[PIC]: Need help using MPLAB-ICE under Windows NT

Guys: I'm trying to run an MPLAB-ICE under Windows NT, but MPLAB seems unable to communicate with the emulator. Background: MPLAB can talk to the MPLAB-ICE just fine under Win3.1 on this machine. I'm using MPLAB v5.0. I installed MPLAB5 from within Windows NT, then rebooted my machine after installing it. The Problem: When I open the "Development Mode" dialog box and look at the "Ports" tab, it shows Address "0000" and Type "None" for all three LPT ports. When I select LPT1 anyway, I get an "Illegal Parallel Port Selected" Error message. Hitting the "Query ports" button doesn't change anything. The MPLAB help file says that there's a known problem in which NT reports a different address for the parallel port than the one which MPLAB is expecting. That's fine -- it certainly seems like an accurate diagnosis of my problem -- but the advice given in the help file to fix the problem is just wrong. It says to change the address under ControlPanel>System>DeviceManager, but I don't HAVE a "Device Manager" tab in my System control panel; that tab only exists in Win95 and 98 (and maybe 2000). So... What do I do? Someone on the list MUST be successfully running MPLAB-ICE under Windows NT...
