If your using a parallel LCD wired to your printer port then LCDriver does not officially support your LCD so thats one problem.

Seccondly, Windows XP is not the problem, what is the problem however is probably LCDriver incompatability with XP, but I cant confirm this.
I do know that my parallel LCD (wired straight to printer port) works fine with with WinXP.

I am using LCD Center 2 (http://www.borderfield.com/lcd.php) and although it says it "requires LCDriver" I have NOT got LCDriver on my computer and it works fine.

I installed PORT95NT first however because LCD Center and many other programs require it.

There are instructions for LCD Center here:
