[Kenwood] Kenwood TS-570DG and Windows 7 on a new 64 bit computer

[Somers Jr, Kenneth]

Hi

There is something in windows 7 that you have to find,
to activate -- so that you can run 32 bit programs.
I think that it's called 'program wizard' by using
this you can run some 32 bit programs on a 64 bit computer.
I hope that this was of some help.

Thank You:

Subject: [Kenwood] Kenwood TS-570DG and Windows 7 on a new 64 bit computer

Recently my old computer running Windows XP crashed. I had interfaced this computer to my TS-570DG via a com1 port and using CW using a JBI interface from the rig to an LPT1 port.

I now have a new 64 bit computer running Windows 7 professional and naively had a card installed with a com port and a serial LPT port as in the old computer. I have tried everything that I can think of but am unable to get the TS-570 to talk to the computer.

Does anyone have experience with this type of problem? Is a cable available with a USB connector on connect to the rig? Also is their a device that I could purchase that will handle the CW interface? I had been using Win-EQF* to handle the CW but the 64 bit computer presents more problems with Win-EQF*.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
