Hi Group:

Rig 756Pro3, Windows XP

Using DX4Win 8.03 recently reloaded because of the following problem:

I seem to have lost Rig Control. I can no longer click on a spot and
have the Rig change band, frequency and mode.  I can interact with the
software on the screen and all seems normal.

I suspect that I have a Port driver issue in that during the reload I
saw reference to a lack of or missing port driver message.  I just
don't know what to do about it.  If I return to 8.02 version, all
works fine and other programs that use Com 1 & 2 work fine also.

 I think that this FAQ message is pointing to the fix.  If this is the
fix, what do I do with the information?  Where do I put the string?

for Win/NT/2000/XP:

WinNT\System32\Divers\Vichw11.sys

  Thanks for your help.
