Gary and friends Thanks again. I have downloaded Direct I/O and installed it on the XP computer. However I think it must be configured. I have not found any clue on this.
If anyone has done te configuration or if there is a text anywhere that shows how to do it, I would appreciate it.

For security reasons, XP restricts functionality of parallel ports. Look in the archives for DX4WIN and/or Writelog. You need 3rd-party software. Direct I/O is shareware--do a Google search. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 4:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Fwd: Re: [Dx4win] CW Interface - Problem detected] Mike and Jim Thanks for the tip. However it didn't work. I have full installed DX4WIN 6.04 and the problem remains. LPT1 is not recognized. As this computer has no serial ports, I am not able to test the transceiver keying thru a serial port. I would say that there is some kind of issue with DX4WIN and windows XP related to LPT keying. I am wondering if I am the only one having this problem. regards Fred PY2XB --------------------------- Mensagem Original ---------------------------- Assunto: Re: [Dx4win] CW Interface - Problem detected De: "VA3MW - Port Credit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Data: Sab, Abril 23, 2005 7:49 pm Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of copying the files, why don't you do a proper install? That should solve the problem.

I have copied the whole DX4WIN directory to a Toshiba notebook (Pentium 4 under windows XP, no serial ports but has LPT1). So far so good. Everything works fine. However when I attempt to use the Keyer by configuring LPT1 in Preferences|Control .

I have configured the Band Encoder instead. I have assigned LPT1 for the band dencoder. No message is printed when leaving the preferences program. > > Any help is welcome.
