First off, Win7 is not a fully supported operating system for running PowerSDR. See the OS compatibility statement.
http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=PowerSDR_Compatibility

This reflector is designated for released software using supported operating environments.

As such, all discussions about Win7 should be directed to the FlexEdge reflector, but for this case, we can continue this topic on this reflector because it might be beneficial for those wanting to upgrade to Win7, which I do not recommend until PowerSDR is fully supported on it.

For more information about the FlexEdge Reflector, please see the following web page:
http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=Reflector_Description

To sign up for the FlexEdge Reflector, use the FlexEdge Reflector User Management web page (http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz) and go to the Subscribing to FlexEdge section.

We need lots more detailed information

What version of PowerSDR are you using?

If it is 1.18.x, did you install .NET 1.1 + the SP1 update?

Here are the instructions for changing to the legacy.
http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50433.aspx

Your Firewire host controller my have a chipset that has a Win7 driver that is specific for it and my not have the legacy version of the driver.

Also, attachments are not allowed on the reflector, so the one with the second error message did not make it through.

My FLEX5000A was working fine prior to upgrading to WIN7.  After the
upgrade, I received the following error messagess and it said I wwould have
to re-install PowerSDR.  I reinstalled the drivers and PowerSDR with no
change.


First error message:

Error: Radio Communications Problem
Error communicating wit the radio. Please reload PowerSDR again.
Note that starting PowerSDR too soon after powering on the radio can cause
this problem.

Second error message: See attachment

After going reviewing the knowledge center and the flex reflector pages, I
began thinking that the problem might be that the update changed my firewire
driver and I needed to install the legacy driver; however, I have been
unable to find a legacy driver.

THE pc is a Dell Slim Studio 540S and I installed the upgrade using the DELL
provided Windows 7 Upgrades and drivers.

Sny help will be appreciated.
