Windows XP Pro BSOD Event ID 7000 "Parallel Port Driver Service failed ..." [Solution]

Do you keep getting blue screen of death (BSOD) or sudden system power off with a restart? I had this recently when playing OMSI Bus Simulator but this can happen in other circumstances as well from the research I did on this. Either way this should help you fix this issue.

If you do check 'System' within your Event Viewer (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer). Look out for:

Event ID 7000, Source "Service control Manager", Description "The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Print Screen:

SOLUTION

Step 1) Boot into your motherboards BIOS and disable the parallel port (see your motherboards manual on how to do this).

If you don't know what make and model your motherboard is then use PC Wizard to find this out so you can download the manual from your motherboards manufactures web site (Google the manufacture if you don't know their web site address).

Step 2) Within Windows XP Professional open Device Manager (Start - Run, type in "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes and click ok).

Within Device Manager click on the 'View' menu and select 'Show hidden devices'. Scroll through device manager until you find 'Non-plug and Play Drivers - Parallel port driver', Right click and select 'Disable', click 'Yes' when presented with the stop functioning warning and restart when asked.
