Tom, I experienced the same thing on Windows XP Pro a couple of times after the upgrade. I can't remember the exact conditions under which it happened, but I think I solved the problem by copying the driver file once more, but deleting the old one BEFORE copying the new one into the Windows directory... and maybe I rebooted immediately afterwards. As I said, it was a few weeks ago, so I can't remember the exact details. But, it's working okay now.

I have the same problem on my office computer, running Windows 2000 Pro. It's even worse for me, as I don't have, and can't get, admin authority on that machine. A fix for this would be most appreciated. However, don't hold your breath, as Dx4Win updates are infrequent at best. 73, Ron - N9QQK Tom wrote: I thought maybe the new version would fix my problem, but no success. Thus, I thought I'd repost here and see if anyone has any additional ideas. I run dx4win on an old windows 2000 box, normally running as a user with only Power User status. Every time I try to execute dx4win as this user I get an error, stating: Please copy the driver file: C:\Program Files\dx4w701 \DRIVERS\vischw11.sys To: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\vichw11.sys Now, I've manually copied this file to the correct directory, and still get the message. I've also made sure that the file and the directory are owned by the Power User, with full access control. Still get the error. So, in order to use dx4win I have to run it as an Adminstrative user (using Run As). I sure would rather run it under the Power User account. Anyone have any further insight? I should point out that this very old PC has the windows files loaded in c:\windows rather than c:\winnt (I think the previous owner upgraded from an older windows version). Thanks and 73! Tom, W4KX
