[Dx4win] Problems with XP Conversion
Hello Stu, I had exactly the same problem few months ago. You need to install FULL version of Windows XP, not upgrade. See my post from 10th Jan 2002: Thanks for all suggestions and help I got from you to solve the problem with reading transceiver frequency under Windows XP. After few days of trying to made work radio and DX4WIN (I installed all XP supported drivers, reinstalled DX4WIN, etc) I formatted hard drive and installed Windows XP again, but not as upgrade but full instalation. It is right now, all my programs work as they should. So, if you plan to install Windows XP my suggestion is do not make upgrade from previous operating system, but make new FULL instalation. Hope, it helps.

[Dx4win] Problems with XP Conversion
I assume what you're saying is true for DX4WIN 3.05 and not 5.03? I ran the upgrade version of WinXP Home and the CW keying worked fine on 5.03 by either following the instructions to install the driver or by reinstalling DX4WIN 5.03. I can't speak to 3.05... 73, Duane On Sat, 17 Aug 2002 08:56:49 - Pawel, SP7PS [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello Stu, I had exactly the same problem few months ago.

[Dx4win] Problems with XP Conversion
Hello Duane, I use version 5.03. After upgrade from Win 98 SE I had problem with DX4WIN and only DX4WIN. Other softwares, e.g. WriteLog, Logger, MMTTY, ChromaPix worked right All the problems with DX4WIN ran away after full install of WinXP Home Edition.

[Dx4win] Still Need Windows XP Help
Can anybody help me to get the CW driver working with Windows XP. The F keys work and the pre-set CW messages scroll, but the radio won't key. Also for some reason the spotter bell will not ring while using packet radio. The packet spots come up OK but the bell will not ring. Everything else is working great and I really like XP and would like to continue to use it, without having to revert back to Windows 98. Any ideas would be appreciated. TXN 73 STU

The two responses I know you have gotten were for 5.03, and I think you wrote you are using version 3.05! Which raises an interesting question -- why expect a program that was written before the XP operating system even existed to be able to operate well under it. Yes, I know XP is descended from Windows NT, but the devil's in the details. In any case, time to upgrade. 73, Pete N4ZR
