I am using a homebrew computer with an ASUS MB, 2,8GHz Intel CPU, SATAHD, etc with WinXP-Pro and have had no problems at all with MicroHam, DX4WIN, and MMTTY.
I would suggest uninstalling the USB Device Router and unplugging the USB cable to the MicroKeyer. Run for a day or two without any of that stuff in play and see what happens. My guess is that something else is wrong, but removing the suspected culprit will provide the answer. Another thing you can do is go into WinXP Admin Tools and look at the Event Logs. Look particularly at the Application log and the System log to see if there are any clues as to what happened when the "hang" took place. If there are no relevant events then I would look at your SDRAM. If you have more than one memory stick then unplug all but one and run that way. If you still get a "hang" try the other sticks alone. If a computer "hangs" without any event being recorded then you probably have a bad memory stick or some kind of MB problem related to memory. E-mail me direct if you want to discuss this further. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Les Kalmus Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 9:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] MicroKeyer & Win XP problems I have recently put together a PC using an Asus V7A880 MB & Asus Video card & 1 MB of RAM. It includes a Conexant modem, CD/DVD R/W drive and Serial ATA HD using Win XP Pro. I have put together many PCs in the past but none with the problems I have experienced with this one. With XP and all the other compenents updated to the latest driver release I have had nothing but problems after the MK software was installed. The PC will arbitrarily hang, sometimes when not much is going on. The last hang was while I was moving the cursor with the mouse. Nothing much else was going on. The modem is used because I have only dialup here. I am using DX4Win and N1MM. I haven't even been able to try MMTTY yet. I think all was well until the MK was installed but I have redone the software so many time that I am no longer sure of the sequence of events. Has anyone had similar experience with a similar software setup and did you get it running? Any suggestions as to what to try? I am thinking of going back to Win2K.
