There's probably a simple answer, but I can't find it. I'm running
version 7.05.04 in Windows 2000NT on a replacement computer (after a
drive failure). I had been running CW using the parallel port. Now
when DX4win starts, it gives an error message "can't find LPT1 for CW".
I have set CW thru LPT1 in File/Preferences. I'm using Com1 for radio
control (IC-756 ProII) and it functions OK. Windows Device Manager says
LPT1 is functioning OK. The address is 0378 - 037F and it is using IRQ
7.
I have a second printer port on an expansion card. It is set as LPT2
(FED8 - FEDF, IRQ9). If I change the Preferences setting to LPT2 for
CW, I get a "can't find LPT2 for CW" error. Device manager says that
this port is also functioning OK.
I also run N1MM on this computer with the same interface cables. When I
start up N1MM with LPT1 selected for CW it works fine! N1MM keys the
radio properly. But if I close N1MM (and even shut down the computer
and re-boot), DX4Win "can't find LPT1 for CW". I looked in the manual
but couldn't find anything to help. Any suggestions as to what I'm
doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
