Programmer P8048.1

My problem is basic because the card is not recognized by the PC. my contact because, a long time ago I bought the programming card P8048’1 kit.2003, specifically for PIC 16F84A, to be included in the Monty robot card, unfortunately I had to give up my PC fixed I do not list the hardware. Today I dusted off the old project where the notorious PIC 16F84A was shot and I found myself faced with the old problem, the non-recognition of the card, which does not connect to any port, yet the port No. 1 exists.But Windows XP Home.The following error appears: "There is no velleman programmer connected to the
PC ". Using the MPASM program and doing the Assemble, it tells me: Assembly Successful DEMO2.ASM, 100%, but when it is a job it seems to me the error above.I hope you can help me.I could not find the answer on the forum, to which I am, also written.
