I use a microham mk2r+ for interface between dx4win and my rig. I have assigned some com ports for rig control, ptt, fsk and one port for winkey. If i run dx4win without to load the microham router, dx4win gives me some messages that com ports are not there and finally opens. But when i try to save the log or to simply close the dx4win gives me a message like "an exception occured! Thread Error: access not allowed (5)". I can not close dx4win except i terminate it via windows manager. This happens only if i have winkey selected and not if i have a (usb or normal) com port for cw. I had the same behaviour with k1el original keyer also and this happens in ver.7 also.
How Writelog acts? Well when i start Writelog and i have not router running, it will open normally (without any message) and simply i have not rig control, ptt, cw, etc. When i run the router all come back normally. I would like to know if this happens for you also ( i am not sure that this happens in all computers) and second if you prefer a similar to writelog behaviour. For example i would like dx4win says that com ports are closed but continues to work and when i start the router the com ports start functioning (almost like writelog). Many times i want just to check the clusters spots and i want to run dx4win only for this. So i don't want to run the router every time i start dx4win. Sometimes also i forget to run the router before to run dx4win. It's not a big problem but an everyday problem for sure. I don't like to see dx4win crashes. By the way i know that i can have router start with Windows but because my computer is rather old and i use it for other work also, i don't like to load many things during startup.
