Dear MEMBERS:
  My "Snappy 4.0 Deluxe Internet" is now functionong fine on windows 2000 on 
  an add-on parallel port card, thanks to the help of 5 members who reached 
  out to help me.
  What worked finally was this:
1) uninstalled all port hardware and software.
2) changed bios assignment of port #1 (on the board) to ecp
3) enabled legacy pnp
4) installed port #1 WITH NO SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE USING IT OR ATTACHED TO IT!
5) reinstalled add on card as port #2 with a different irq and interrupt# 
   with snappy installed on it
6) reinstalled all totally deleted software off disc and a new 9V in the 
   unit.
7) snappy functioned instantly but would not save
8) downloaded ntsc 4.0 patch and installed it
9) made snappy recognized in registry as video capture device as per 
   globalstreams direction
10)THEN I installed the printer, which works fine, on port #1, where it was 
   originally.
11)snappy is working fine except I find it impossible to get the same 
   picture color and vibrancy I see on the TV with the VCR in stop-frame mode. 

MANY THANKS TO YOU: (you know who you are)!
