The first step is to look at what processes are running when you start up. Then dig deeper into the PowerSDR process to see what handles are in use, perhaps locked.This is more than likely due to another process hooking and delaying the startup. SysInternals Process Explorer is the tool of

What, me insulting? I said high quality, and you read an insult. You are, however, beginning to get on my nerves. You're obviously having computer issues unrelated to PowerSDR (which are causing PSDR to crash and freeze), because this is not a common occurrence among the thousands of PSDR

I downloaded and ran the program however there is a lot of information there that I am clueless to understand. What am I looking for? Also when PowerSDR freezes on startup it is not all the time and varies from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, that makes it harder to figure out Some have already jumped

What do you think is wrong with my computer? So my computer broke at the exact instant I upgraded my PowerSDR version? Because this is a new problem. I did not think hardware could break from a software upgrade However after listening to you on AM I know you know your stuff So like Alfred E.

Highly unlikely this is a hardware issue. I am confident you have a os/software configuration issue. It's fixable.If you do not understand the information presented by the Process Monitor then I suggest you employ the services of Neal to help you out. Things such as 1394 Firewire

[Flexradio] Griffin USB Knob Questions

I just turned up a Griffin USB knob which I assume can be used with my Flex5K. But is it worth it? Do I need a driver for it and I assume that the USB cable would plug into any available USB port? But again, is it worth it for Flex tuning control? RIck W2JAZ

Burt, it sounds like you have anti-virus or some other software running a scan when you first start up. A lot of that type software wants total control and won't let us really dumb users do anything until it's finished. think Hal 9000. Ron K0IDT - Original Message - From: Burt

I've got one of those, and the other big USB ShuttlePro Super Mouse thing. I've gone through setting them up, doing the configurations, and for a casual user like myself, it's not worth it. I prefer to use just my Logitch Trackman Wheel, as It does everything I need, and it's easier to use.
