Re: [Dx4win] windows 7 issue

[Rick Borken]

Here's a follow-up to my message about having trouble getting the QRZ.com 
lookup to work on Windows 7. I thought I had tried this before I sent the 
message, but I cleared and re-typed the QRZ web address into the window on 
the "Ext Data" setup page. All of a sudden, it worked. I assume there was 
some sort of corrupted data before. Now it works exactly the same as it did 
on my Windows XP computer.

Also, a comment. I have been pleased with how well all my ham radio-related 
programs work on Windows 7. I expected to have at least a few problems, but 
everything seems to work fine.

73, Rick K0XB

What does "click on an callsign" mean?  In the QSO window, you type F3
to bring up the Callsign/Mgr lookup window.  There is no "clicking".

To do a QRZ lookup, you must have keyboard focus in the Callsign/Mgr
lookup window.  Type ENTER in that window and your browser will start
and look up that callsign on QRZ.COM, and the results will display in
your browser.  There is no link between the browser window and DX4WIN
to capture the data.

There is nothing new here, this is how DX4WIN has always worked.

Gentlemen,

When I click on a callsign, the attached window opens but qrz.com does
nothing - there is no data to copy and paste - ideas?

So I share Rick's problem.

The grid feature only (I think) works with Radio Amateur Callbook, on
CDROM or installed on your hard drive.  Setting up EXTDATA to point to
QRZ.COM gets you a web lookup of the call, as if you had done it in a
web browser.  No way to get the info into DX4WIN except by copy/paste.

[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-bit BSOD Resolved

[Byron Peebles]

It's been quite some time since I was satisfied with my DX4WIN host,
a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate install.  Although I had all the latest patches,
and quite a few amulets, I just could not get away from experiencing the
infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and a similarly annoying pause
that seemed to happen at all the wrong moments, like when I was just
about to acknowledge a call back from some rare DX station who was about 
to QRT.

Tonight I was about to throw in the towel and punt.  I had done all kinds of
system upgrades, bought "better" keyer interfaces, improved the 
USB-serial hardware,
and installed everything there was to install, and more, and more than once.

In one last moment of "try anything - it can't get worse" I was down to 
the point
where only the keyboard and the power button worked, neither of which 
are USB.

So, I connected my USB mouse to a port it had never been connected to 
before.
The system thought a minute, installed the drivers and the mouse lit.  
It worked.
I repeated this process with each item, the Fast Serial interface, the 
WinkeyUSB,
the label printer, the UPS.  They all worked.  So, I rebooted.  Repeatedly.
I rebooted more than I'd been able to reboot without a BSOD in, well, 
forever.
No problem.

There was one item on the desk that was no longer connected.  A 
bargain-priced
Rosewell 7-port USB hub.  I had noticed that connecting an FTDI-based 
device to
port 4 of this thing caused an instant BSOD, so I left it disconnected.  
Forever.

After the job of again working DX without worrying I'd access my log again,
I did a little search engine exercise and found other people describing 
the same
scenario that included this hub.  It was a common thread in the 
descriptions,
and it was common to two computers that had a similar problem.

So, I see the occasional posting here about BSOD, so check the USB hub.  
Might be a hit.

73, Byron

PS.  Yes, the downside is that box is still running Windows.  :-)

Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

>From Joe W4TV:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microHAM/message/12395

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.

This sounds like a similar problem seen on the microHAM list.  You
have configure your USB ports NOT to power down.  Joe W4TV (copied)
might be able to give you more details.

Just found why my DX4WIN  often freezes and/or stops controlling SteppIR and 
rotor on my new Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium laptop: USB FTDI RS232 devices 
(MicroHAM Keyer/USB Router, FTDI USB/RS232 converters for SteppIR and rotor

Any suggestions how to solve this issue???

Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes (UPDATE)

[Byron Peebles]

Unfortunately, my QSO with HP1 tonight was interrupted by numerous 
pauses, making me feel like I was learning morse code again.  Which I 
might actually be doing, to tell the truth.

Another examination of the Task Manager showed the Firefox 4 32-bit 
executable doing battle with the Firefox add-on container executable for 
top spot in the CPU usage list.  This might be because there is an issue 
with Firefox *32 under Windows 7 64-bit that is exaggerated by the use 
of these add-ons on the QRZ.com web pages, which I use as my home page 
in the shack.  I went into the Help menu of Firefox and disabled add-ons 
and the test (under full power) seemed to show the lag/pause was gone.  
Only real operating will prove that.  More later.

I want to say that with each item I have removed, from Aero Themes, to 
MSFT Office doc caches, to Adobe Startup executables, the system has 
become more responsive.  The fact I now have voice announcements in the 
shack (rather than keying the radio) is a major plus.

Now all I have to do is get the pause outa here.

I have asked a friend who is active on the Firefox development forums to 
let me know if they hear something about the add-on container and 
Windows 7 64-bit.

[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes (UPDATE)

[Byron Peebles]

Friends:

Using the Task Manager and the Configuration Manager resource mentioned 
in the previous post, I am feeling better about eliminating the problems 
I was experiencing with my Windows 7 Ultimate system and DX4WIN.

First, the change from the Display Windows Manager (dwm.exe) from Aero 
to Classic themes seems to have made the windows faster.  As I continued 
to look for anything that used more resources than DX4WIN, I also 
removed a Microsoft Office utility that is for shared document caching.  
It seems like the Install script for Office adds that to your Startup 
programs and I will never share an Office document from this computer.  
then, two Adobe Acrobat products installed themselves to make my PDF 
reading faster in some way and they are now not part of the system 
startup and background processes.  When these changes are combined, the 
system behaves better, at least so far.

Second, I found a configuration error in the system that had really bad 
side effects.  When I was attempting to get the MMTTY RTTY software 
working, I have set the audio output device to default to my Ten-Tec 712 
USB-Sound-Card Interface.  I had also set the Mic input to PTT on the 
Ten-Tec radio.  The result of this mistake is that my system sounds, 
startup, spots, etc were being routed to the radio, not the speakers, 
and were keying the radio.  Not at all a good thing, since I have to 
assume those sounds could be heard, even though I set the radio to one 
watt output when I'm not in QSO, just in case.

So, one set of changes to minimize overheads on the combined CPU/GPU of 
a low-end, low-power motherboard and a secon change to reverse a 
bonehead configuration mistake that I made in a last-ditch effort to 
make something unrelated to DX4WIN work.

Again, time is the real measure of resolution, so I'll give it a week or 
two of active CW work to see if this is truly resolve.

73, Byron

[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes

[Byron Peebles]

My friends:

I had posted a note here not long ago about my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate 
install having pause issues with DX4WIN, especially bad at times when I 
was keying CW.  In spite of the upgrade to WinKey2-USB, the frustration 
and problem remains.  I've now observed those pauses in software other 
than the DX4WIN logger.  However, the good news is that I've come across 
an article that might help me, and the other folks who sent me direct 
emails expressing they had the same problem.  I intend to follow the 
instructions from Microsoft this weekend and hope to be able to post a 
resolution in the future.  In the meantime, if you are having pausing 
issues under Windows 7, you might just read this Microsoft article on 
managing what is running on your system and debugging what's not running 
correctly.

Good Luck!

problem.  Remember that if you are using an LPT port, there is a
driver that you must manually install, you were told about it when
installing DX4WIN 8.0x.

There used to be installation instructions for Vista.  I don't see
them any more. Maybe they were only for Version 7.

DX4WIN 8.0x works just fine with Windows 7.  I am controlling a
microKEYER and ICOM radio, I can do PSK, FSK, CW, etc. and get DX
spots from the 'net.  Others have more elaborate hardware setups than
I do.

Just don't try to install the program in the C:\Program Files area -
the default is the root of the drive (i.e. C:\).  Mine is installed at
E:\DX4W805

Did you install as administrator (right click)?
Don't know if that helps or not, but it is recommended.
One semi-useless data point is that I am using DX4WIN and HRD/DM780 with
Win7 64-bit without issues.

Re: [Dx4win] windows 7

Using Ver 8.04 that works FB with WIN 7. Only suggestion I have is not to
try to use any skins other than the standard default. When I tried to use
different skins I had problems. I also followed the instruction to install
DX4WIN to my C: dir and not to either of the C:/PROGRAM folders. I believe
if you install DX4WIN in a program folder you may have problems.

Re: [Dx4win] windows 7

Installation might be easier, but the periodic 
data file updates become a nightmare.  Please 
take our advice and keep the DX4WIN directory out 
of the Win7 Program Files directory.  Where you 
have it on your non-system drive is just fine.

Re: [Dx4win] windows 7

[Milan Gütter, OK7GU]

William,

For me DX4WIN works great with my Asus 64bit with Windows 7 Professional.

My Asus has two discs.
Standard C and solid state D.
My DX4WIN is installed on
"D:\Program Files\dx4w804"

I think it will be better to use the
"C:\Program Files (x86)" directory
for DX4WIN. The reason - much simple installation.

I´am using two radios.
First Radio 1 as local, the second Radio 2 remotely controlled.
Antenna Rotator, RTTY, PSK31, CW nad RTTY keying works OK.

Only one problem I have is that DX4WIN can´t identify the right radio 
for CW keying.
The reason - LPT port is missing on (not only my) notebook.
DX4WIN use LPT port for Radio 1 / Radio 2 signal.


73,

Milan

Under Windows 7, UAC alerts are rather infrequent and usually indicate
that something serious is happening. Please don't disable UAC as it's
is the only thing protecting you from a number of widespread attacks
on the net that will try drive-by installs of botnet control software.
And no, anti-virus won't always protect you. The fact that you
absolutely need this on home computers is clearly demonstrated by the
millions of botnet machines out there. Don't disable UAC, please. Or,
if you must, don't use that machine to surf the web or read e-mail.

Unfortunately, Windows Vista is a different story - UAC is much more
annoying and much more frequently popping up. Still, it's a necessary
line of defense to keep drive-by downloads off your machine.

DX4WIN probably requires administrative permissions to install the
drivers it uses for rig control, etc. Once those are installed, it
should be able to work without UAC getting in the way.

If you're getting too many UAC popups on Windows 7, you're probably
doing something risky. The way DX4WIN works is risky (application data
and program files mixed together), so expect Windows to complain.  :-)

You need to do the install as administrator. However,  I don't believe 
you have to set it to "Run as Administrator". In any case you may want 
to disable UAC... it's a pain in the neck and not really necessary on a 
home computer.

[Dx4win] Windows 7

[Matt Cassarino]

I've tried to install DX4WIN 8.03 on a fresh upgrade (ie "everything
XP" was moved to WINDOWS.OLD) of 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium

I still get a pop up message every time I start DX4WIN:

DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM FROM AN UNKNOWN PUBLISHER
TO MAKE CHANGES TO THIS COMPUTER ?

I installed it as C:/dx4win803 as it suggests.

I right clicked before installing and set RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR for the
LPT driver installer, the MS redistributable installer and DX4WIN.

I set the application as RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR once installed.

Is this the way it runs (with an annoying pop up every time you start
it) or did I miss something ?

Bob,

I am using DX4Win on a Win7 64 bit computer - works fine.  Although I'm sure
there are ways I will be able to screw it up in the future :)

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN / Windows 7 / radio interface question

Hi Jim,
It look strange to me that the USB to SERIAL device assigns 2 comports 
Maybe a new driver could solve this, but first check if it has really 2
comports

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN / Windows 7 / radio interface question

[Lou Dietrich]

Jim,

You may have to update the drivers for the W7, if available. One of my
Belkin converters, although found by W7 and worked with VISTA, did not work
with W7I am currently running an Edgeport USB to 8 port unit and it
works great...

Also, to change the Com Port settings in W7, go to Control Panel> Under
Devices and Printer> Device Manager >Ports > Double click > Right click on
your Com Port Number > Properties > Port Settings > Advanced Tabthen at
the bottom of the advanced tab is a drop down which will allow you to change
the com port number to any Com which is not in use

I hope this helps...

Happy New Year

73

Lou N2TU

Subject: DX4WIN / Windows 7 / radio interface question

"Santa" (a.k.a. my wife) brought me a new HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, to 
replace my 6-year old Compaq Presario.  I have been using DX4WIN on the 
Compaq for quite a few years.  My radio is an IC-746, and I've been 
"talking" to it via a USB-to-Serial Converter plus a home-made interface 
box.  It's worked well.

So, today I bit the bullet and loaded DX4WIN 7 on the new HP laptop.  I 
then plugged in the USB-to-Serial converter, and the computer found a 
driver right away.  It assigned the new device (which actually has 2 
ports) as COM4 and COM5.  Since DX4WIN now will accommodate COM4 and 
COM5 in its pull-down menu for the radio, I figured - OK, let's go for 
it.  I assigned COM4 (and later COM5) to the IC-746 in the "Radio" part 
of File/Preference.  But to no avail - the program can't seem to "find" 
the radio, even though I'm quite confident that the interface to the 
serial converter is working.  It just says the 'radio interface timed 
out' when I try to 'Start Radio'.

The other troubling thing is that with Windows 7 I can't figure out how 
to reassign the port numbers - to COM1 and COM2.  It used to be easy 
with XP.  I'm not sure that I need to do that, but I'm thinking that 
maybe the converter only recognizes COM1 and COM2.  Any ideas?

AND/OR do I have to "turn on" something in Windows 7 in order to use a 
serial port?  I know that one has to enable Telnet, for example.

Appreciate any help; I really need to get over this hump so that, among 
other things, I can use N1MM and other contest logging programs!

Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7 and DX4Win

[Mel]

Since these pre-installed freebies are usually just for a trial period I 
would suggest you remove Norton and install one of the free virus 
checkers... unless you actually plan to purchase it. If you do I would 
recommend doing some research before necessarily choosing Norton. If you 
do decide to use it... a little doc reading is probably in order ;-)

It is working FB for me on a new PC running WIN 7 Home Premium. For now 
I am only using it as the basic logger and QSL label printer, no radio 
control, RTTY keying, etc.

The only thing weird to me is with DX4WIN ver 7 (and earlier) on a PC 
running WIN XP all I had to do is click on the DX4W icon on the desktop 
or in the start menu and it would start right up. Under WIN 7 when I 
click on either shortcut icon I get a Norton pop-up window asking me if 
I really want to open this program and I must click allow. It is not a 
DX4W issue because I get the same pop-up window when I try to start 
other programs. It is a Norton virus program issue (Norton came 
installed) but I haven't figured out how to tell Norton not to warn me 
everytime I start it up.

Anyone else encountered this?

I use DX4WIN 8.02 on Windows 7 64-bit in the home office.  Works fine 
but don't have a radio connected.  Try the demo, you can get 
installation instructions for Vista/Win7 on the Downloads page.

AFAIK it is but I would suggest that you try the demo in case you have 
any driver issues. Being a pioneer incurs some risk ;-)

I installed the beta version of WINDOWS 7
On one of my 32 bit test computers here.
Installation is slow so don´t panic if it takes a while.

When all drivers etc were installed I also 
run as Administrator the latest version of DX4WIN.
No problems were detected.
First run gives the same error of the missing driver like
Under vista, but this disappear the second time you run DX4WIN
For those that need the LPT port you still have to launch the program 
with administrator rights (btw under vista I use a tweak that don´t ask
everytime 
for confirmation when I start DX4WIN).

So far so good, gonna check if the hardware is still working ok with
antennas, radios and
Other connected hardware and let you all know if I find strange behaviors.
