I built a new Windows 7 64 bit Pro PC, got all my ham software up and running and for a brief period of time life was good. A bad RAM module brought that to a crashing (literally) end. Trying to recover from that I've been having a series of problems that keep pointing to what looks like the well known USB/serial port driver kind of problem.
So, it looks like I'm going to do a complete clean re-install of Windows and start again. When I bought the K3 in Jan 2010 I bought the generic USB/serial interface from Elecraft. I had loaded the drivers pointed to from the Elecraft site - is that the safe thing to use? Somewhere else I saw some pointing to other drivers. I'm not going to even try to install any of these drivers until I'm 100% sure the Windows 7 setup is 100% stable, but at some point I'm going to want to update the K3 firmware... 73 John K3TN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Windows-7-and-USB-serial-redux-tp5992292p5992292.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
