[Dx4win] DX4Win Shutting itself down after radio selection

Hi All,

I'm having a problem that I have not run into before.  I currently
have two radios attached to DX4Win and when I switch from Radio 2 to
radio 1 DX4Win shuts itself down.  Here are the particulars:

Pentium 4 Dual core with 2 gigs of mem
Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates
Radio 1 is a Yaesu FT-2000 latest firmware, etc. on COM5
Radio 2 is a Kenwood TS-950SDX with the latest PROM on COM6
COM Ports are provided by an Inside Out Edgeport uSB converter which
supplies COM 5 thru 8

As long as I stay on the Yaesu I have no problems at all.  If I go to
the Kenwood by selecting radio 2 it works fine.  As soon as I go back
to radio 1 and after about a 3 second pause, DX4Win shuts down.  No
error messgaes, nothing.  It just closes.  When I restart it, I see it
begin to come up and then it shuts itself down again before any of the
DX4Win windows appear.  If I try to launch it a 2nd time it works
perfectly - just like before the radio switch.

If I swap the radios, the Kenwood as radio 1 and the Yaesu as radio 2
and I do an operation on the kenwood, as soon as I go to the Yaesu the
program closes.

It seems that the problem is with the Yaesu but it works fine as long
as I don't try to use the Kenwood.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to resolve this??

73, Tom
