Sometime ago I bought a new in-box GameShark for the GameBoy, works perfectly, but I have a issue extracting the snapshots.

When I'm trying to extract the snapshots from the gameboy, the GameShark app throws a error. I am not sure why. I also checked if the parallel port from the gameboy to the PC is correctly connected and yeah, it's fine.

I tried with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bits, didn't work. Just freezes the app and the app gets closed. Same issue with Windows 7 miniOS 32 bits. (Note that with Windows 7 Home Premium gave me the same error)
I didn't tried installing Windows 95 or 98 because I don't think the OS would be the problem (or maybe?) Gameshark app says it requires Windows 95 or 98 to work. I am going to install Windows 98 anyway to see if this time works.
Probably am I missing a parallel port driver for Windows 7?

I just want to extract snapshots from the gameshark just to make backup of my gameboy games lol

This is the error that throws me.
