Murray, I have not been able to use an older version of DX4WIN with Win 8, get a com port not available message, and I know at least one other person has been having the same problem. I don't know if the new version of DX4WIN has been upgraded to function with Win 8, but it sounds like maybe not. I suggest you talk to the DX4WIN guys about the problem. I checked the DX4WIN user group a while back and did not find any info on DX4WIN with Win 8. I continue to use my old version on my PC with Vista. Before I upgrade DX4WIN I will want to be sure it has been upgraded, if not I will go to another logging program. Mike, WM5DX.

I have a Pro 756III and connect it to the computer using a CT17. My problem is that I cannot get the radio and computer to recognize each. Whenever I open DX4WIN i get the following message: i.e. Badid - specified comport doesn't exist. I have tried changing the bauld rate and the comports without success. I have contacted the technical arm of the computer seller to confirm that the comports were activated and I was assured that they were as factory default. Any ideas?
