The Parallel port driver service failed to start
hello,
i have a factory build of vista ultimate that shows an error right out of the box. it reads: The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. Event ID: 7000 the laptop does not have a parallel port. is there a windows update fix for this? -- Steve

It's not causing your system any problems. DDW -- Reply via this group No email please

appreciate the response, but i have no way of telling whether it is causing
any problems. i am guesssing that if there is an error in the event viewer, there is a problem somewhere in the system. looking for a fix for this from microsoft if it is a problem with vista. -- Steve "DDW" wrote: On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:55:00 -0700, Steve wrote: hello, i have a factory build of vista ultimate that shows an error right out of the box. it reads: The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

It is not a problem. It is an annoyance.

BTW... I installed Vista on this machine a few months ago and I saw that error too... but I have a parallel port but it's not being used. I went into the BIOS and disabled the port. The ANNOYANCE went away. DDW -- Reply via this group No email please

So why didn't you tell the OP about it? Small "problem" with admitting when you might have been overly brusque with your reply, perhaps?
