I also had a failure of my XP box, here at the office. I had to purchase a Windows 7 machine. Thus far, everything that ran under Vista or XP has run on 7, with no problems. It will be Monday before I can do it, but, I will bring my ID-1 software here to the office and try it. ?When you installed the ID-1 software did you get a message saying the software did not install correctly and giving you options?

Hi all:
I recently
had to buy a new computer for my shack due to the failure of a Windows XP machine. I have been running my ID-1 through the computer because operation is so much easier in D-Star mode than using the control face. The new computer is a Windows 7 machine and I have been unable to get the Icom ID-1 software to work with it. Has anyone on the reflector also experienced this? The program comes up on the computer, but no matter what port number I try, and I tried all 256 of them, the radio simply will not respond. I'm guessing that Icom will have to come up with a new disc for W7.
I have sent an email to the Icom Technical Support people and am awaiting a reply.
