I don't use COM keying, so I'm not sure, but I'd check the settings 
on the DX4WIN Preferences CW tab. You need to specify there if the 
DTR or RTS line is being used to generate the CW. You may be sending 
the CW on the control line that needs to be on continuously to power 
the interface unit. If the interface is powered from DTR line, you 
should have that box checked and the RTS line set for keying in the 
CW setup window. Be sure these settings are "harmonized".

$20 or so will get you a WinKey that avoids all those problems. at 
the expense of another COM port or a cheapo USB to RS-232 converter. 
I highly recommend this solution.
