bradly - a couple of things.

First a question - are you having problems or did you just take a look at the event logs and see this one?

Next a request - much easier to help if we have an exact copy of the Event ID. Easiest way is to open it up and on the right side, just below the up/down arrow buttons, press the bottom of the three buttons. That will put a copy in your clipboard. Just open a reply here and paste the clipboard contents into the thread.

 

I found This which offers this information:

"Windows NT, Windows 2000, XP and their descendants require a special dll called: DLPORTIO.DLL to use the parallel and the serial ports. Windows 95, 98 (SE), ME don't need this special dll. "

The site includes further help for getting and installing "dlportio.zip" if you should be so inclined.
