[Dx4win] Error connecting to radio

[ON4AOI]

Hi Stan,

What you have is a XP problem.

For the record
I've 3 LPT's and 8 com ports
Lpt1 original on board
Lpt2 and LPT3 are added with VSCOM pci board
Com1 original on board
COM2 USB->rs232
COM3-COM4-COM5-COM6 are added with VSCOM pci board
COM7 USB->rs232
COM8 USB->rs232

I couldn't assign com6 anymore because it was in use by something else?
And there was nothing forwarded to that port.
I couldn't swap the hardware on Com2 and Com7 even when I pulled them out
and reinstalled in different USB ports they remain com2 and com7 

The solution I found was to disable COM2 - COM7 and COM6 in the device
manager and completely restart the PC without disconnecting anything.
When restarted I enabled all comports again and all works ok.
Com6 is free and when I swap the hardware on com2 and com7 it's recognized
again. 
Something in the registry causes this but since it works now this way I
don't search after it there.

Subject: [Dx4win] Error connecting to radio

When switching to radio 2 I get the following error:
"ie_BadId-Specified comport doesn't exist"
This is curious because it sort of works in that the log shows the band
radio 2 is on, but if I click on a spot I do get an error that the port
is in use by something else.  When I bring up V7.01 it works just fine.

Setup:
Win XP Pro
Port in question COM3 via a USB->Serial converter
DX4WIN 7.02 Build 14
Ram 512MB
Processor AMD Athlon 3000
Radio 1 FT-1000MP on COM2
Radio 2 FT-897 on COM3
The port shows in the Device Manager and remains as COM3 when I plug it
into a different USB port (it drops of the Device Manager list when I
unplug it and then reappears when I plug it into a different USB port).

Suggestions please.
