Hello Jim,
as per your instruction leaving it on COM 7,,,
I do leave it on COM 7 but upon wakening
in the morning it's on COM 3 in Ports of the Device
Manager! So in dx4win I set File/Preferences/Radio/COM Port
to COM 3 and four hours later in Device Manager it's back
on COM 7!!
Running Windows 7 Enterprise.
Thanks for the other advice.
Merry Christmas
john

Downloaded and installed the USB driver for the Kenwood TS 590S and was

This morning I found the USB driver had been assigned to COM 7. This has
been occuring the last
couple of days. How can I keep the driver assigned to one certain port and
determine what program
is using COM3?
If you go into the Windows Device Manager, and click on the '+' sign
next to "Ports (COM & LPT)" you will see the port assignments. You
may be able to right-click on one of your virtual ports (like COM7)
and assign it to a different number. But if the radio works OK on
COM7, why not leave it that way? Remember, you can only have ONE port
assigned to a given number.
I don't have any advice to determine what application is trying to
access COM3 besides DX4WIN. Go through all the DX4WIN preference
tabs, and make sure that all devices are using a unique COM port #.
If you had created virtual COM ports because you are using a
USB-to-serial cable (or a RigBlaster, microHAM, etc. device), try
deleting all the virtual COM ports, then reboot, then create only the
ones you need.
