How to use with EPICWin
To use this programmer with EPICWin first you must have EPICWin software which available from Melabs.com.After you have download software then install it as description in the manual.
For windows XP/2000/NT you must install driver by :
Start –> Run —> C:\epicwin\NTINST.EXE /install
To remove driver.
Start –> Run —> C:\epicwin\NTINST.EXE /remove
Note : If you use Windows XP you must Stop Windows XP from polling printer port by
download the registry entry file from Melabs.com and merge it into your XP registry.After download this file to merge it into registry just duoble click on this file and select yes and OK
Download XP_stop_polling.reg
Now you can use this programmer by double click on epicwin.exe if the programmer not connected to parallel port you will have warning message” PIC Programmer. Not Found”
If you have the message “unable to start driver PICLPTNT error xx hex(xx) ” when starting EPICWin this is happen becuase you not enable parallel port in BIOS. I found this problem with some model mainboard becuase it selected disable parallel port as defualt or when you have flash new version BIOS firmware.
