Hello,
I have also this lockup problem only with DX4win and Win7-64 and it was
terrible from time to time only when entering a call just got the first
letter and freeze for about 8 seconds, after using DX4win since first
editionI was looking for other Log software for this terrible problem.
Good News! since yesterday after making the USB power modifications from Joe
on Windows I have not experienced any lockup. I am running DX4win as told
C\Dx4win and like, not Administrator Rights, I did try setting as
Administrator on Properties, Compatibility and have suffer once a short 1 to
2 sec Lockup, so I have reverted to normal and at the moments no problems.
I will test with LP-Bridge and similar if not cuts as before dew to this
freeze.
Thanks, 73.
Jaime EA6NB.

Hi Jim and Joe,
My luck lasted short time. Everything seemed to work FB after application of
all suggested power modifications, but there it is again, some of the
USB/RS232 ports/devices get again inhibited by Windows, though in much
greater time intervals then before (sometimes all OK during 1 hour of
operation, then suddenly SteppIR or antenna rotor stop responding .... :(
....
