In case you can't access the URL above, here is the text The following changes in Windows appear to prevent Windows from triggering the bugs [that] cause the lockup: 1) Always set the Windows Control Panel "Power Options" to "High Performance" or "Maximum Performance" depending on version. 2) In the "High Performance" option" a) click on "Change Plan Settings" and set "Put the computer to sleep" to NEVER. b) click on "Change advanced Power Settings", select "USB Settings," followed by "USB Selective suspend setting" and set Selective suspend to "disabled" 3) In Windows Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus Controllers double click on *every* USB Hub (both USB Root Hub and Generic USB Hub), select the Power Management Tab and clear (uncheck) the box marked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" When closing the computer, always do a full (power off) shutdown - do not select sleep, hibernate, or suspend. These steps appear to prevent Windows from invoking sleep mode or performing any hardware power down actions with the USB devices which are what trigger the crash in d2xx.dll. ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
