[Dx4win] Win 7 and DX4Win

[Tom Horton]

Hi Kostas,
 I have a new Dell 620 running Windows 7 running Home Premium 64 bit.
It has no RS-232 serial ports. I purchased a Vantec Adapter to go from the usb ports toa RS-232 cable to connect to the FT-1000 MP.
 When i attempt to set a port for the radio on DX4Win I get an error message:
 
      Error
 ie_badid
Specified com port does not exist.
 
This occurs on every port I have tried up through 8.
I have looked on line and tried some suggestiond but none seem to work.
If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks, Tom K5IID

If you don't like my signature, well, I am sorry. But I will use it because it is what I believe.
