Allows win98 style acess to LPT ports. Great if you want to use the LPT port as a GPIO device (inp and outp instructions). There is a small security risc but as long as you know what you are doing it no problem.

In my XP SP2 before Speedfan I don't remember seeing such driver... now it's there.

It is possibly correct that it is installed by SpeedFan. I installed this recently and noticed this today after my computer froze and then refused to boot, even in safe mode. I repeatedly saw that giveio.sys was the last driver attempting to load in safe mode before crashing. So I booted into Windows 98 (have both for emergencies) & renamed it and then was able to boot in safe mode and restore ( just to be safe ). But I have been using SpeedFan for a week now, dunno why it suddenly caused problems. The latest thing that I installed was FeedReader though how they're related I really can't see.

Mine was added by a Quicktime update and totaly crashed my system. Removal looks easy enough, but as the system locks even in safe mode, can be a real pain to correct sometimes.

It is for direct access to paralell port.It is OK

I had this problem, and after much looking around for answers, discovered XP desided it didn't like one of the USB devices I had hooked up. I ran into the problem after upgradeing Quicktime to the latest version.

I had the Speedfan problem too. It was working fine for months, until an automatic Windows XP update caused it to conflict. The solution was to uninstall Speedfan entirely, through Add/remove Programs. Rebooting afterwards worked fine.
