Hello Art,
The USB port of the IC-9100 is a built in USB-to-Serial adapter. If you
disconnect the USB cable from the PC the COM port to/from which the
program sends/receives data is no longer available. The link is
interrupted. The same happens when you switch off the radio while the
program is running. Therefore first close the program. I have described
that in the FAQs file (fig. 5o). Also, there is a patch file on my
website (page Downloads) that traps the error.
The traditional CI-V jacket of the IC-9100 for CAT control doesn't
cause such problems but works
absolutely reliable. It must be connected to a physical COM port or an
external USB-to-Serial adatper. Therefore switching of the radio
doesn't close the COM port and interrupt the serial connection.

To ALL,
I have used Sat PC for several years on XP, and Vista. It crashes on me if I
disconnect the USB serial connection to the radio, otherwise it is a well
behaved program. How the bios handles the USB ports is computer specific and
could be the cause of the crashing.

Hello to all!
I have an old desktop PC dedicated to ham radio ( 1 GHz Pentium CPU, 256 MB
of RAM and Win XP). I have had SatPC32 running 24x7 since December and I
have never had a SatPC32 crash.
73!

Same here.
I've had it running on XP and Win 7 64-bit for WEEKS at a time and
_never_ had a crash.

Interesting. I have NEVER had a SatPC32 crash, under XP or Win7, and
I have left it running continuously for several days at a time.

None. Pick you poison. Satpc32 crashes using all operating systems. Good
for an hour or so. Then you get an OLE FEHER error. Tried this over all
operating systems (xp, win7, win8)
Grab a pc from the kerb and load up xp. cheap and simple.
As many problems as satpc32 has, it's far and away better than the
competition.
