I have a similar problem to yours and here are the limited results of my
troubleshooting, for what it's worth:
A few years ago, out of the blue and after years of using the same
station setup, I began having radio time-outs while using DX4Win. I
eventually traced the problem and was able to consistently reproduce it
by playing any video heavy content in my web browser (Firefox). Browsing
normal page content that does not require heavy use of the video card
does not cause time-outs. I can't pinpoint the date when this started
happening, so I have no idea whether it was caused by video card driver
updates, automatic Windows resources change, DX4Win version change or
whatever else.
However, a similar thing occurs while using N1MM+ with a slight but
important difference: in this case, I get error messages on the N1MM+
status bar saying "Radio sent invalid CAT data", but there is no radio
comms loss, i.e. it still reads frequencies and talks to my radio.
I don't know if this applies to your scenario. I simply got used to
living with this and I make sure I don't watch video content while
leaving DX4Win in the Real Time Entry mode. I suspect something
somewhere in the Windows video settings interferes with the COM port
setup, but I can't be bothered to go deep diving in there.
I attempted to change DX4Win radio polling to make it the same as N1MM+
without success.
I hope this helps before you go crazy reinstalling all kinds of software.

thanks Larry, yes, that is the way I always start up in the
morning.... computer on first... loads up and running, then I turn on
the radio and out board items, then open either DX4WIN or Writelog
.... shut down the opposite nite time. When I get a time out event, if
I close DX4WIN and re-open all works for a while but eventually it
times out. Wierd part is Writelog, microHam router, radio/amp and
computer no problem. Thinking about doing a re-install of DX4WIN 9.0.9
but I always get extremely nervous when messing around with
software.... usually a cussing fit going to happen somewhere .... then
the wifie tells me I should have known better! .... hopefully this
thing will self correct but who am I kidding? lol, 73's Cort K4WI

*CORT: MY SYSTEM DOES THE SAME THING IF I DO NOT HAVE THE RADIO ON
BEFORE TURNING DX4WIN ON. IF THE RADIO IS ON THEN I DO NOT HAVE THE
PROBLEM. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AS IT WAS A WHILE BEFORE I FOUND THE
SAME THING HERE. BEST TO YOU AND YOUR AND STAY SAFE. DE LARRY - K6YUI *
