Unlike Windows 95/98 Windows XP cannot connect directy though the printer port. You 
will need a different cable to conect to both comuter SERIAL ports, rather than printer 
port. That is the problem. I Don't know why they did that witht the newer windows 
programs but thats the only way you will be able to send your win 95/96 files to 
win XP via DCC... Thats it.
