Alan, You have done nothing wrong.
You will not always get the "Found new hardware" message. Particularly if the device driver is already registered with Windows. The FLEX-5000 hardware is registered as a sound device under Windows. Windows wouldn't know a radio if it jumped up and slapped Billy G. in the face. (which is one of the many reasons why the next version of the software will not have Windows as the primary OS for running the radio) There is a new SVN version of PowerSDR that corrects the annoyance message "PowerSDR has stopped working" you get under Vista. The correction will be in the next production release of PowerSDR slated for sometime near the first of the year. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Johnson Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2007 1:05 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Vista Installation Oddities I finally got around to setting up my 5000A yesterday and noticed the following: 1) After installing the driver, Vista didn't give the "Found new hardware" box after reboot and powering on the transceiver. 2) After the above, Device Manager showed the Flex installed under Sound, video and and game controllers and as working normally with the correct driver version number. I expected it to be under Radio Receivers. 3)After installing PowerSDR, once I stop the receiver and close the program, I get "PowerSDR has stopped working" I'm using 32 bit Vista Home Premium on a C2D 6700 machine. Despite the above, everything seems to be working correctly, but I wonder if I did something wrong. Thanks for the handholding, 73, Alan Johnson N4LUS -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
