anybody has a solution:
I like to install my PDPI on my new XP system.When i start the
installation,it says,that Im not allowed to make the following system
modifications and that I should restart with an administrator account.
As im the only user of this system,im configured as computer
administrator.

The PDPI drivers do not work under WinXP or Win2K. Unfortunately PDPI have
gone bust, so I doubt you'd ever see drivers for this card.
Sorry for the bad news.
why did i buy then a ABIT KT7A Board just because it has an ISA slot for the
PDPI?
Damn!

I bought an Iwill KK266 mobo for the same reason (a single legacy ISA
slot); but I'll never attempt to run GPL under XP, not after everybody's
troubles with GPL & NT/2K (the Editor of Car and Driver gave up long after I
would've).

There are PDPI drivers available for Linux. If you download the standard
gameport driver, you'll see that it fully supports the PDPI. It wouldn't be
too hard to use this as a base to write your own XP driver. I intended to
do this, but didn't have access to the Windows XP DDK (device driver kit) at
the time. I've pulled the PDPI card from my machine and plan on moving to a
new USB based setup in the future (if WSC is ever released). Therefore I've
lost my motivation to do the port. I still think it's an interesting
project. I've never written a device driver and I'm not sure that my 10+
years of software development has given me the courage to attack the
Microsoft device driver model.
Good luck.

The problem I see is obtaining the specification on how to interface with
the PDPI card from the driver. You would not read it in the typically
gameport fashion as this defeats the idea of having a digital interface.
Cheers,
