Tim, I am experiencing the same problem. Only difference is that I didn't import anything. I had 2.3.x on my system. I did a full install of 2.4.4 following the instructions. Everything went smooth as silk. I started up PSDR and it worked great. Tuned around, tried a few things then tried and change the sample rate. That is when it crashed and I got the exception report. I quit and then the I get the scenario described below.
Every time I try and run PSDR, I keep getting a message telling me that new firmware is required. When I say go ahead and install it, I get the firmware loading box for about 3 seconds then a success message. (I seriously doubt that it loaded anything -- the success message was too quick). When I try and start PSDR, I get the same message again. I say load and the cycle repeats. I can recover by removing the new driver and then removing 2.4.4 I've done this about three times now. It works great at 96Ksps but don't you dare try 48 or 192. It is playing away very happy at 96K right now. -Tim K8XS. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Ellison, W4TME Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2012 2:55 PM To: Walter Dallmeier Cc: [email protected]; Klaus Lohmann Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Announcing the release of PowerSDR v2.4.4 Walter, You have something in the imported database that is causing your problems. I recommend you open Setup, click on the button "Factory Defaults" and allow PowerSDR to restart. Then do not import that old database that was causing the problems. BTW, uninstalling and reinstalling PowerSDR almost never resolves problems, since the database is what controls the radio and it is not removed when you uninstall the software since it was created after the software was installed.
