parallel port addressing

Hello everyone,

I found a program on the net that lets me set parallel port pins hi/low. I modified it to my needs and it works fine. The problem came when I bought another parallel port , it was a pci card and the addressing is different. Instead of 378, I have E000. I tried to change parts of the code to match my new addresses but I can't find the ports now. Does anyone know why?

Below is the original working code, you will need inpout32.dll to play with it. Any takers?
