[Dx4win] Win NT Port Driver Error

[Rick Stoneking]

All,

I have a strange problem with V6.02 on my work computer which is running 
Windows NT.  A little background:  I use the installation on my work 
computer so that I can run various reports and print them on the nice 
laserjet printer here.  I have been a DX4WIN user since very early 2000 and 
V6.02 is the fourth or fifth rev I have installed.  I have always installed 
the program on my work computer, it has always warned me that I do not have 
administrator rights so I will not be able to install the CW port driver, I 
have always just clicked the 'OK' button to continue, and the program has 
always run.  I do not actually have a radio at work so there is no problem 
with the lack of a port driver.

However, with V6.02 (I did not attempt 6.00 or 6.01) everything looks the 
same until I go to run the program and it tells me that it can not find the 
port driver and it exits.  The port driver is there, and if I log in as an 
administrator the program runs fine.  I have installed the program as an 
administrator and it still will not run unless I am logged in with 
administrator rights.   I have installed the program as a non 
administrator, then logged in with admin rights, extrated and copied the 
port driver file, verified the program works, then log in without admin 
rights and it will not run.  What is most puzzling is the message that says 
that it can not find the port driver which is there in the directory it is 
supposed to be in!?

Anyone have any clue as to what is going on.

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
