If Windows says it's VSYS.com then it probably is. Are you using N8VB's latest build? To help it's best to let Windows make a full crash dump file so that N8VB can analyse with you later. Simon Brown --- www.hb9drv.ch www.laax.ch RSGB HF Convention: Friday 7th - Sunday 9th October 2005 Holiday

Suggestion to Flex (if not already implemented) pressing Shift should slow down by a factor or two, pressing Ctrl by a factor of 5, Ctrl+Shift by a factor of 10. I have found this useful in my own software and is a more-or-less Windows-compatible keyboard interaction.   Simon Brown---www.hb9

Hi, This means that you have selected the wrong COM port or the speed is wrong. As you are using the virtual COM port I am confused - this should just work! For virtual COM port use the speed is irrelevant - I used 115,200 when testing a few weeks ago. So the only thing to check is that you
