[Dx4win] Comports

[Heather & Murray MacDonald]

I have recently purchased DX4WIN 8.05 and a new computer with Windows 8. I
have a Pro 756III and connect it to the computer using a CT17. My problem is
that I cannot get the radio and computer to recognize each. Whenever I open
DX4WIN i get the following message: i.e. Badid - specified comport doesn't
exist. I have tried changing the bauld rate and the comports without
success. I have contacted the technical arm of the computer seller to
confirm that the comports were activated and I was assured that they were as
factory default. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Murray
