[Dx4win] ICOM interfacing troubles V8.05 continued

Upon further examination Ive tried the following to get my radios to
track in 8.05.
As I stated in earlier emails, My interface does work tracking
frequency. IF and ONLY if I continue to change frequency via the radios
tuning knob. If I stop turning the tuning knob the program times out
after 5 seconds.
I originally thought that it may perhaps be the new Byterunner PCI multi
port card I installed into this new PC, running windows XP. To rule the
card out I removed it, uninstalled all drivers for the Byterunner
device. I then took a Byterunner card from another PC that works 100%
with DX4win 8.05. Installed it, updated the driver files and the result
was the same operational error mentioned above. So the Byterunner card
clearly is not the issue.
Then I decided to simply connect 1 rig, ICOM 756PROIII, to the Com 1
port on the PC rather than to connect the rig to the virtual ports set
up with the Byterunner application. Result? Same as above..the rig will
track only if I turn the tuning knob on the ICOM. Stop tuning...time out
occurs.
Also of note, DX4Win will change mode from CW to SSB but it will not
correctly track to the RTTY mode when the mode is changed.
So this makes me wonder if it is a PC issue? An incorrect setting in the
bios?
Do I need to uninstall DX4Win and try again?
Am I missing a driver needed?
The other thing of note...the pc and interface is working correctly with
Writelog and MMTTY and my Microham products.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
