Hi John, Your computer may be putting the USB port to sleep. In Windows 7 try this:
Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Power Options. Next to Recommended Settings, select Change Plan Settings. Then click Change Advanced Power Settings. Click the + next to USB Settings. Click the + next to USB Selective Suspend Setting. If you click on the Setting: Enable, you will get a drop down box that allows you to change it to Disable. I hope that solves your problem. 73, Bud N7CW On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 2:29 PM, n4dsp <[email protected]> wrote: > Less than a week ago I downloaded version 8.04 and installed the license. > Excellent service by Paul.
