Jim I used to use a Byterunner 4 port. The software drivers allowed you to choose which com port and to some degree, what address to use. I'm sure your problem now is that DXBase thinks you have multiple instances of the same com port.
It's been a long time, but I'm sure in the System/Ports/ resources, there was a option to reassign the com port order. I was using Win98se at the time and they worked successfully. When I switched to WinXP, Byterunner did not have XP drivers available. They do now, but while waiting, I purchased a SIIG pci comport board and it installed properly on the first try. My computers has native com ports 1 & 2 and SIIG 5 & 6 (numbers assigned by me). My suggestion is to disable/remove/uninstall the Byterunner. That will get DXB back. Then if you reinstall the BR, make sure it does not conflict with the existing coms. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim McDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dxbase Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2003 4:24 PM Subject: [DXBase] Problems with CW driver program running XP After installing a new Byte Runner PCI board with 4 serial ports, which are working fine with rig control, rotor control, and control of my Alpha 87A amplifier, I ran the DXbase CW driver program to set up CW keying on COM1, which is on the motherboard. Using Device Manager to look at the serial ports that the Byte Runner created, I don't see any addresses to enter into the DXbase driver program. The serial port internal CW still does not work, but more importantly, Writelog now crashes on startup, so I suspect the DXbase driver program has made registry entries that are the cause. I first left the default addresses in the DXbase driver program with the defaults and then set all but COM1 and COM3 (the modem) as blanks. Writelog creates the bandmap and RTTYrite screen, but then I get an applications error dialog box when Writelog stops loading. I am using a new RIGblaster Pro which is working on FSK with MMTTY standalone also on COM1. (Please no sermons on homebrewiing an interface; I wanted the features it provides.) I haven't installed the MMTTY plug-in for Writelog yet. It uses the DTR line for CW. Any suggestions for either fixing the serial-port keying in DXbase or to fix the Writelog crash would be appreciated, Jim N7US _______________________________________________ DXBase Reflector - Please visit us on the web at www.dxbase.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To UNSUBSCRIBE please visit: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase
