Please submit the form at /help.php so we can get more information about your system.
In the meantime, look at the README.TXT file that should be in your XSTOOLS folder. Also, check the following:
- Are you using a power supply with a center-positive plug? (It's a good sign if the LED segments glow dimmly.)
- Have you configured your parallel port for SPP in the BIOS?
- Have you tried LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3?
- Do you see any activity on the LED segments during the test procedure?
- If you have a logic probe or scope, can you see any activity on pin 14 and 17 of the parallel port during the testing procedure?
