Hi friends,

When i tried to run Propview yesterday, all i received when trying to "predict" was a "type mismatch" error (sorry i forgot to forward the errorlog to my work adress so i don't have it here).

It was working a few days ago.

Any idea ?

I don't think anyone has publicized a comprehensive "defects
repaired" list as of yet. The fellow who told me that the runtime
defect would be fixed in SP1 is responsible for Vista's runtimes, and
was pretty embarrassed that such a defect had appeared in a shipping
version.

Microsoft currently expects to deliver SP1 during the first quarter

of 2008, but will collect customer feedback from the upcoming beta
process before setting a final date.

Windows Vista SP1 is designed to not significantly change the UI or

to cause regressions in application compatibility.

SP1 is going to be released in two waves. The initial release of

SP1 will include five languages (English, French, Spanish, German,

(including the original five) will be released about three months
later.

Open the WinWarbler's Config window, and select the "Broadband
Decode" tab. In the "Stations Heard" panel, check the "create local
spots in SpotCollector" box. Now every station decoded by stations
heard will be added to your Spot Database, where it will be colored
according to need, and can be filtered and/or sorted as desired. If
you set SpotCollector's Band filter to "Transceiver Band Only" and
set its Mode filter to "PSK31", then the the Spot Database Display
will only show PSK31 spots from the Stations Heard window or other
ops, all colored by need. If you only want to see spots generated by
the Stations Heard window, use the SQL filter

From the URL, Pathfinder is searching QRZ.com. The correct URL is

which is a bit different than what you show below.

Are you able to search sites other than QRZ.com without seeing

Dave, et all whom helped....

I finally "resolved" my software problem when I found the original CD
with all the programs on it - placed where it wouldn't be harmed while I
was down sick. Getting my 'puters back to best performance levels, then
wiring up the mess again will be the next task. I'll give all the
suggested programs a try, as time permits, since I have no idea if the
transition from Win '98SE (blue screen of death, mostly!) to XP, in NT
mode, will work right or not. Only a lot of messing around with the
keyboard, mouse, and various guesses will give me a clue if B. Gates 'n
his OS systems will allow the gear to respond as per all the propaganda.

Thanks for the suggestions, now to see how my "over 60something" frame
will work in putting up antennas!

The file LauncherAgent.exe should have been installed in your Launcher
folder when the launcher was initially installed. Is this file present?

If its missing, let me know and I'll email you a replacement copy; that
you can simply save into your Launcher folder. If that's the only file
missing, you should then be able to upgrade the Launcher.

73,

Dave, AA6YQ

Whatever you do, "DON'T" just delete files from the launcher installation folder without first uninstalling it via add/remove programs in the control panel. To do so would remove the uninstall information and leave you with a much more difficult problem to correct. That's true of any installed program.

Assuming that the path name you gave is correct in accordance with the location where you initially installed Lanucher 1.5.2, there should be a file named "launcheragent.exe" there. If it's not there, apparently something didn't go right with the initial installation. Dave should be on-line a little later so let's wait for him to suggest the appropriate action. I just wanted to get this out quickly to hopefully avoid the above far more serious mistake. The good news is that If you have successfully installed other DXLab applications, they should not be affected by this problem.

73, Rich - W3ZJ

tried to upgrade launcher 1.5.2. clicked config, clicked upgrade to
upgrade to 1.5.5, downloaded data then window said "launcher agent is
missing from c:&#92;program files&#92;dxlab suite&#92;launcher&#92;launcheragent.exe".
should I delete dxlab launcher and reinstal it? If I do will I keep
everything I already have?

Dan,

I use the F5U409 USB to Serial adapter by Belkin. It is available from
Staples and other dealers for about $20. I use it for both the serial

supports ALL the RS232 serial lines. I know other hams using this

adapter

as well, nothing but glowing reports.

OK -- I need to know if this is the Belkin F5U409-CU or the

I have a similar problem with AWS Weatherbug. Whenever I go to the radar display and ask to enlarge or animate the display I get that script error. It's very strange because it doesn't matter whether I say continue or don't continue, it continues anyway and nothing seems to be wrong. It seems to be a Windows thing and thus far I haven't been able to track it down. If anyone has the solution I'lI be eternally grateful. However, I have not had any problem with QRZ.com and Pathfinder 4.4.6.

Graeme, I see Dave has answered the technical questions relating to Multipsk
and DXLab integration. I'll add my personal preference to the mix.
WinWarbler is my "default" PSK and RTTY application. I am much more used to
the operation of WinWarbler, with the macros, seamless operation with other
DXLab apps and GUI layout. I use MultiPSK for the more "exotic" modes that
WinWarbler doesn't do. MultiPSK is a great piece of software, and I
appreciate the work Patrick has put in to it. It can be a bit overwhelming,
though. So many modes to choose from, hi.

73,
Ken
KC9GLQ

Thanks Dave
Strangely enough there is another fella with your name and callsign
over on the Multipsk group who answered this question with the same
answer. :)
Off hand, I don't think Spot Collector is going to be much use to me
but time may prove me wrong. Maybe I may find a DX spotter over in VK
which I can use it for.
The rest looks very usefull.

Turns out most of the units I see on Ebay use XP. Also new from Dell XP can be selected on any Latitude. I don't care much. PartitionMagic 8.0 takes care of Vista, will unhide the restore hidden partition as well so Vista would be truly gone. All necessary drivers are downloadable from Dell. So what op system comes with the PC isn't much of an issue. That ole Fdisk still works.

My 17" screens are likewise set to 1280x1024. It's about all the eyes are up for. So I've struck WUXGA from the must have list. OK if I get it because it can be throttled back to WSXGA+ but not desired. Also struck the shiny screens from the list (TrueLife at Dell). Reading the reviews what I see is a lot of comments about glare plus we do no video processing here and our only gaming has to do with radio. Outside of a hand at Doom 2 every 6 months for the target practice.

Thanks for your info.

Hi Art,
I am writing to you from a Dell Inspiron 8200 that's 4-5 years old. It too has a single serial port and also a line in jack to the sound chip. Two primary reasons for selecting this particular model. It is equipped with an Nvidia GetForce 2 Go that supports an external monitor as a second monitor in a dual monitor configuration. I use a Dell 19" flat panel as the second monitor and run both at 1280 X 1024. I didn't have to pay extra for that, it was standard in this model but It works great. So I have no hesitation in saying that should work out fine for you as it has for you. Bye the way get yourself a wireless notebook mouse which travels easily and disable the built in touch pad so that you don't accidently hit it while typing. It's nothing but a nuisance :-)

Can you get the D830 with WinXP or will you be stuck with Vista?

Dave, thanks, good info.
My outgoing Latitude C610 does SXGA 1280x1024. That's about as small as I want it with my reading glasses on. If I can score a WUXGA at good price with the other goodies, fine, but I decided not to pay for more than WSXGA+.

Dell's had its hits lately on service as well. I don't have to spend much time on the service line unless some electronic part lets all the smoke out so am OK there. Last years model D820 is readily available on ebay and also from the Dell refurb site, first D8xx to use the 2 processor chip, I decided on that. The reviews say the two processor chip runs ordinary stuff about 1.5x faster than the equivalent cost P4M in the predecessor D810.

Huh...D810 to D820 to D830 encompasses about 1.75 years. Obsolete before sold. No future in buying new.

Tnx again
