Gary and friends

Thanks again. I have downloaded Direct I/O and installed it on the XP
computer.
However I think it must be configured. I have not found any clue on this.

If anyone has done te configuration or if there is a text anywhere that
shows how to do it, I would appreciate it. Thanks

EVERYONE has this problem--because it is an XP problem, not a DX4WIN
problem. For security reasons, XP restricts functionality of parallel
ports. Look in the archives for DX4WIN and/or Writelog.

You need 3rd-party software. Direct I/O is shareware--do a Google search.

Mike and Jim

Thanks for the tip. However it didn't work. I have full installed DX4WIN
6.04 and the problem remains. LPT1 is not recognized. As this computer has
no serial ports, I am not able to test the transceiver keying thru a
serial port.

I would say that there is some kind of issue with DX4WIN and windows XP
related to LPT keying. I am wondering if I am the only one having this
problem.

regards

Instead of copying the files, why don't you do a proper install?  That
should solve the problem.
