Intel Core 2 Duo - Dongle problems

Hi, I just bought a new computer.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
PNY Quadro FX3500
etc....

My problem is that Solidworks 2003 can not find the parallel dongle...
"Can not load DLL: slduiu.dll" - And then shuts down.

Im quite sure it is problems with the mainboard (or the chipset intel
965P) as I have spent 4 days, 60 hour on installing all programs again
and again on three different computers:

I can run it on two other computers with no problem but not the new
one.
I have also move the hard disk from one of the old working computer to
the new one and the dongle has not been found. I have installed all
the drivers, but it still not found the dongle. But when I return the
hard disk back to the "old" computer WITHOUT re-install anything, it
work fine again with the dongle.

All has the same bios setting - 378/IRQ7 - ECP+EPP - DMA:3

Anyone else with similar problems???
Anyone else with same cpu and Mainboard..

Anyway im very satisfy with its preformace:
The computer runs Solidworks benchmark (SPECviewperf 9.0.3) at Mean:
70,48 at heavy overclocking

Did you asked your VAR?
Sometimes the dongle driver does not install correctly. Have to uninstall /
reinstall. On 7 identical machines, I had one that did it on every upgrade.

Also, for some reason, once I did not have the correct version dongle
driver.
