Thanks to those of you who have made suggestions. I tried another driver file for the Kenwood whichc a kind person sent me off list, but that produces the same result. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that the conflict may be with the sound card. It is an HP desktop computer, less than a year old, so I was really surprised to find this occurring. But, since I think all of my sound gos away when I connect the Kenwood, it may be the sound card. I looked in the system devices and could not find any indication that the card was stealing a com port, and I have no idea where to proceed from here. My next step will be to try to get some sighted assistance to see what may be happening.

Of course, any further suggestions would be helpful, and again, thanks to all who have written. I am slowly considering just using a serial port, but converting USB to serial port involves more wires, and I already have an over abundance of them. LOL! Also, the very concept that the USB port is on the radio and this will not work for me is a personal mystery and I don't like unsolved ones! My plan is to use the computer/radio for logging purposes.

Thanks to all, 73/88/33,

Hi to all of you amateur radio ops out there. I'm hoping you can help with a problem I cannot solve which occurs on several computers, all that I've tried.

I am trying to connect my Kenwood TS590 to my computer via USB port on radio to one of the USB ports on computer. I have 5 USB ports. I have tried all of them. I tried another computer as well. I have installed all drivers for the radio. As soon as I connect the radio to the computer, Window Eyes just disappears. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks for any suggestions out there.
