To do a QRZ lookup, you must have keyboard focus in the Callsign/Mgr lookup window. Type ENTER in that window and your browser will start and look up that callsign on QRZ.COM, and the results will display in your browser. There is no link between the browser window and DX4WIN to capture the data.

[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-bit BSOD Resolved
It's been quite some time since I was satisfied with my DX4WIN host, a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate install. Although I had all the latest patches, and quite a few amulets, I just could not get away from experiencing the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and a similarly annoying pause that seemed to happen at all the wrong moments, like when I was just about to acknowledge a call back from some rare DX station who was about to QRT. Tonight I was about to throw in the towel and punt. I had done all kinds of system upgrades, bought better keyer interfaces, improved the USB-serial hardware, and installed everything there was to install, and more, and more than once. In one last moment of try anything - it can't get worse I was down to the point where only the keyboard and the power button worked, neither of which are USB. So, I connected my USB mouse to a port it had never been connected to before. The system thought a minute, installed the drivers and the mouse lit. It worked. I repeated this process with each item, the Fast Serial interface, the WinkeyUSB, the label printer, the UPS. They all worked. So, I rebooted. Repeatedly. I rebooted more than I'd been able to reboot without a BSOD in, well, forever. No problem. There was one item on the desk that was no longer connected. A bargain-priced Rosewell 7-port USB hub. I had noticed that connecting an FTDI-based device to port 4 of this thing caused an instant BSOD, so I left it disconnected. Forever. After the job of again working DX without worrying I'd access my log again, I did a little search engine exercise and found other people describing the same scenario that included this hub. It was a common thread in the descriptions, and it was common to two computers that had a similar problem. So, I see the occasional posting here about BSOD, so check the USB hub. Might be a hit. 73, Byron PS. Yes, the downside is that box is still running Windows. :-) __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

From Joe W4TV: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microHAM/message/12395 In case you can't access the URL above, here is the text The following changes in Windows appear to prevent Windows from triggering the bugs [that] cause the lockup: 1) Always set the Windows Control Panel Power Options to High Performance or Maximum Performance depending on version. 2) In the High Performance option a) click on Change Plan Settings and set Put the computer to sleep to NEVER. b) click on Change advanced Power Settings, select USB Settings, followed by USB Selective suspend setting and set Selective suspend to disabled 3) In Windows Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus Controllers double click on *every* USB Hub (both USB Root Hub and Generic USB Hub), select the Power Management Tab and clear (uncheck) the box marked Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power When closing the computer, always do a full (power off) shutdown - do not select sleep, hibernate, or suspend. These steps appear to prevent Windows from invoking sleep mode or performing any hardware power down actions with the USB devices which are what trigger the crash in d2xx.dll. __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes (UPDATE)
Friends: Using the Task Manager and the Configuration Manager resource mentioned in the previous post, I am feeling better about eliminating the problems I was experiencing with my Windows 7 Ultimate system and DX4WIN. First, the change from the Display Windows Manager (dwm.exe) from Aero to Classic themes seems to have made the windows faster. As I continued to look for anything that used more resources than DX4WIN, I also removed a Microsoft Office utility that is for shared document caching. It seems like the Install script for Office adds that to your Startup programs and I will never share an Office document from this computer. then, two Adobe Acrobat products installed themselves to make my PDF reading faster in some way and they are now not part of the system startup and background processes. When these changes are combined, the system behaves better, at least so far. Second, I found a configuration error in the system that had really bad side effects. When I was attempting to get the MMTTY RTTY software working, I have set the audio output device to default to my Ten-Tec 712 USB-Sound-Card Interface. I had also set the Mic input to PTT on the Ten-Tec radio. The result of this mistake is that my system sounds, startup, spots, etc were being routed to the radio, not the speakers, and were keying the radio. Not at all a good thing, since I have to assume those sounds could be heard, even though I set the radio to one watt output when I'm not in QSO, just in case. So, one set of changes to minimize overheads on the combined CPU/GPU of a low-end, low-power motherboard and a secon change to reverse a bonehead configuration mistake that I made in a last-ditch effort to make something unrelated to DX4WIN work. Again, time is the real measure of resolution, so I'll give it a week or two of active CW work to see if this is truly resolve. 73, Byron __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes (UPDATE)
Unfortunately, my QSO with HP1 tonight was interrupted by numerous pauses, making me feel like I was learning morse code again. Which I might actually be doing, to tell the truth. Another examination of the Task Manager showed the Firefox 4 32-bit executable doing battle with the Firefox add-on container executable for top spot in the CPU usage list. This might be because there is an issue with Firefox *32 under Windows 7 64-bit that is exaggerated by the use of these add-ons on the QRZ.com web pages, which I use as my home page in the shack. I went into the Help menu of Firefox and disabled add-ons and the test (under full power) seemed to show the lag/pause was gone. Only real operating will prove that. More later. I want to say that with each item I have removed, from Aero Themes, to MSFT Office doc caches, to Adobe Startup executables, the system has become more responsive. The fact I now have voice announcements in the shack (rather than keying the radio) is a major plus. Now all I have to do is get the pause outa here. I have asked a friend who is active on the Firefox development forums to let me know if they hear something about the add-on container and Windows 7 64-bit. 73, Byron On 06/05/2011 07:45 PM, Byron Peebles wrote: Friends: Using the Task Manager and the Configuration Manager resource mentioned in the previous post, I am feeling better about eliminating the problems I was experiencing with my Windows 7 Ultimate system and DX4WIN.

[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes
My friends: I had posted a note here not long ago about my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate install having pause issues with DX4WIN, especially bad at times when I was keying CW. In spite of the upgrade to WinKey2-USB, the frustration and problem remains. I've now observed those pauses in software other than the DX4WIN logger. However, the good news is that I've come across an article that might help me, and the other folks who sent me direct emails expressing they had the same problem. I intend to follow the instructions from Microsoft this weekend and hope to be able to post a resolution in the future. In the meantime, if you are having pausing issues under Windows 7, you might just read this Microsoft article on managing what is running on your system and debugging what's not running correctly. Good Luck! 73, Byron http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Run-Selective-Startup-using-System-Configuration There is also a section on that page that explains how to Disable All the startup items and enable them one-by-one. __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] windows 7
William, For me DX4WIN works great with my Asus 64bit with Windows 7 Professional. My Asus has two discs. Standard C and solid state D. My DX4WIN is installed on D:\Program Files\dx4w804 I think it will be better to use the C:\Program Files (x86) directory for DX4WIN. The reason - much simple installation. I´am using two radios. First Radio 1 as local, the second Radio 2 remotely controlled. Antenna Rotator, RTTY, PSK31, CW nad RTTY keying works OK. Only one problem I have is that DX4WIN can´t identify the right radio for CW keying. The reason - LPT port is missing on (not only my) notebook. DX4WIN use LPT port for Radio 1 / Radio 2 signal. 73, Milan Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:46:49 -0600 From: William Osbornewosborn...@gmail.com Subject: [Dx4win] windows 7 To:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Message-ID:001501cba0a8$8e239e80$aa6adb...@com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have been watching the Win7 comments on this list, but I wonder if anyone has Win7 working correctly including holding window sizes/positions between sessions?

Installation might be easier, but the periodic data file updates become a nightmare. Please take our advice and keep the DX4WIN directory out of the Win7 Program Files directory. Where you have it on your non-system drive is just fine. Dick At 09:30 AM 12/21/2010, Milan Gütter, OK7GU wrote: William, For me DX4WIN works great with my Asus 64bit with Windows 7 Professional. My Asus has two discs. Standard C and solid state D. My DX4WIN is installed on D:\Program Files\dx4w804 I think it will be better to use the C:\Program Files (x86) directory for DX4WIN. The reason - much simple installation. I´am using two radios. First Radio 1 as local, the second Radio 2 remotely controlled. Antenna Rotator, RTTY, PSK31, CW nad RTTY keying works OK. Only one problem I have is that DX4WIN can´t identify the right radio for CW keying. The reason - LPT port is missing on (not only my) notebook. DX4WIN use LPT port for Radio 1 / Radio 2 signal. 73, Milan Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:46:49 -0600 From: William Osbornewosborn...@gmail.com Subject: [Dx4win] windows 7 To:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Message-ID:001501cba0a8$8e239e80$aa6adb...@com Content-Type: text/plain;charset=us-ascii I have been watching the Win7 comments on this list, but I wonder if anyone has Win7 working correctly including holding window sizes/positions between sessions?

Re: [Dx4win] windows 7
Using Ver 8.04 that works FB with WIN 7. Only suggestion I have is not to try to use any skins other than the standard default. When I tried to use different skins I had problems. I also followed the instruction to install DX4WIN to my C: dir and not to either of the C:/PROGRAM folders. I believe if you install DX4WIN in a program folder you may have problems. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of William Osborne Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 4:47 PM To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] windows 7 I have been watching the Win7 comments on this list, but I wonder if anyone has Win7 working correctly including holding window sizes/positions between sessions?

Please don't disable UAC as it's is the only thing protecting you from a number of widespread attacks on the net that will try drive-by installs of botnet control software. And no, anti-virus won't always protect you. The fact that you absolutely need this on home computers is clearly demonstrated by the millions of botnet machines out there. Don't disable UAC, please. Or, if you must, don't use that machine to surf the web or read e-mail. Unfortunately, Windows Vista is a different story - UAC is much more annoying and much more frequently popping up. Still, it's a necessary line of defense to keep drive-by downloads off your machine. DX4WIN probably requires administrative permissions to install the drivers it uses for rig control, etc. Once those are installed, it should be able to work without UAC getting in the way. If you're getting too many UAC popups on Windows 7, you're probably doing something risky. The way DX4WIN works is risky (application data and program files mixed together), so expect Windows to complain. :-) 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

One of my Belkin converters, although found by W7 and worked with VISTA, did not work with W7I am currently running an Edgeport USB to 8 port unit and it works great... Also, to change the Com Port settings in W7, go to Control Panel Under Devices and Printer Device Manager Ports Double click Right click on your Com Port Number Properties Port Settings Advanced Tabthen at the bottom of the advanced tab is a drop down which will allow you to change the com port number to any Com which is not in use I hope this helps...

AND/OR do I have to turn on something in Windows 7 in order to use a serial port? I know that one has to enable Telnet, for example. Appreciate any help; I really need to get over this hump so that, among other things, I can use N1MM and other contest logging programs! 73 - Jim, K6ZH: k...@arrl.net __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7 and DX4Win
It is working FB for me on a new PC running WIN 7 Home Premium. For now I am only using it as the basic logger and QSL label printer, no radio control, RTTY keying, etc. The only thing weird to me is with DX4WIN ver 7 (and earlier) on a PC running WIN XP all I had to do is click on the DX4W icon on the desktop or in the start menu and it would start right up. Under WIN 7 when I click on either shortcut icon I get a Norton pop-up window asking me if I really want to open this program and I must click allow. It is not a DX4W issue because I get the same pop-up window when I try to start other programs. It is a Norton virus program issue (Norton came installed) but I haven't figured out how to tell Norton not to warn me everytime I start it up.

Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7 and DX4Win
Since these pre-installed freebies are usually just for a trial period I would suggest you remove Norton and install one of the free virus checkers... unless you actually plan to purchase it. If you do I would recommend doing some research before necessarily choosing Norton. If you do decide to use it... a little doc reading is probably in order ;-) Alan Zack wrote: It is working FB for me on a new PC running WIN 7 Home Premium.

[Dx4win] Windows 7 and DX4WIN
Hi all, I installed the beta version of WINDOWS 7 On one of my 32 bit test computers here. Installation is slow so don´t panic if it takes a while. When all drivers etc were installed I also run as Administrator the latest version of DX4WIN. No problems were detected. First run gives the same error of the missing driver like Under vista, but this disappear the second time you run DX4WIN For those that need the LPT port you still have to launch the program with administrator rights (btw under vista I use a tweak that don´t ask everytime for confirmation when I start DX4WIN). So far so good, gonna check if the hardware is still working ok with antennas, radios and Other connected hardware and let you all know if I find strange behaviors.
