[Dx4win] Win 7 and DX4Win

[Tom Horton]

I have a new computer with windows 7 and I am having a terrible time trying to set up the com ports. It keeps telling me that they are not available. I have switched to many different ports.
I read somewhere thatWindows 7 has some funky stuff about unused ports.
I sure would appreciate some help.
 thanks, Tom K5IID
