I have just bought myself a Sparten 3 starter kit, I usually use a 2E kit in my lab and have never had any problems, however when trying to connect to the board using iMpact (part of ISE 8.2i) I get error 923, the console output is:
Welcome to iMPACT // *** BATCH CMD : setMode -bs // *** BATCH CMD : setMode -bs GUI --- Auto connect to cable... // *** BATCH CMD : setCable -port auto AutoDetecting cable. Please wait. PROGRESS_START - Starting Operation. Connecting to cable (Parallel Port - LPT1). Checking cable driver. Installing WinDriver6...Installing WinDriver6... Installer exit code = 1. Successful.

The board is on LPT1, and I have never had any problems with that parallel port as I use it to print when my board isn't connected!
Anyone have and ideas?
TIA
