Tyler:

I just read this thread and don't see that anyone suggesting checking her setup
in the BIOS to be sure that the port is setup for ECP to use a DMA channel.  It
makes all the difference in the world.  If she is using an add-in port, she
needs to check that in the hardware settings (control panel) to be sure that it
utilizes a DMA channel.  Many of the newer PandP ports don't.

If you or she is not familiar with how to get into the bios settings holler.
