[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.
