Allen,
Did you by chance update your radio firmware too? You should be on version 1.3.0.8, if you went to the Downloads and went to the latest firmware, you wound up loading a beta version 2.0.0.3, which will not run Version 1.18.3 of PowerSDR.. It's the best to always look at the Current Software box on the Home page of Flex Radio. All those versions will play with each other. The Download page is not coordinated as the Current SW box is .. 

73,

Tim,
Thank you for clearing up the information on finding the legacy driver.  I
have now installed the legacy driver; however, that still did not solve the
fatal erro message.

I have also signed up for the FlexEdge reflector.  I was under the
understanding that the FlexEdge reflector was for new Flex development
issues and not the existing Flex configuration.

Now for the current issue:I am using PowerSDR v1.18.3, driver version
v.3.4.5254, PAL v.3.4.5234
I have installed .NET 1.1 + the SP1 update.

I am not getting the error message now that was included.  The message that
was in the attachment was as follows:

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.
