You get the Sherlock Holmes award for figuring that one out. Registry permissions would have been far down my troubleshooting list. Way to go!

In researching the issue, I checked the earlier hot fix for SP2 on the same issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885222 It requires you to go into the registry and add in the SidSpeed parameter. Since it was missing from both my cards, after the usual registry backup, I experimented with entering it. The first card went perfectly, and showed up in the Flex diagnostic as S400. However, the second card kept giving me an error message when I tried to enter a new value. After some head scratching, I checked the permissions for the two branches. Sure enough, they were different. I reset the permissions for that branch, entered the SidSpeed parameter, and then ran the KB955408 hot fix. Worked perfectly. I was choking on the more restrictive permission. I don't know why the permissions were different. One port is on the board, and the other a PCI card which I installed recently. Things seem to be working now, though I will not know for certain until I get the rig. ;) Alan WA4SCA _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
