On a similar note, I just started? it and it hung also.? But for me it was not Launcher that hung but rather Commander,? I can successfully launch all the other modules except commander.? I was using it on Friday but today it will not start.? I waited for about 20 minutes no dice.? And whats odd is I cannot even end commander with task manager.? Totally dead.? All I can do is turn off the PC

Windows 7 completely up to date, all latest versions of dxlabs modules.? Avast Antivirus up to date.? No error msgs appear.

Any ideas???

>>>There have been at least 5 reports here in the past few days of Avast preventing the new version of Commander from running. Update Avast to consider the new version of Commander to be safe.

Evidently, you've worked TX7EU's DXCC entity on both 12m and in CW,

Malwarebytes came with this computer and that was about four years ago.
Not sure why I received the "Trial Period Expiration" note on Saturday.

Going back to a restore point is the only option I have left that I know of, I do not know how to perform some of the other procedures that were talked about in the info you directed me to.

to what procedures are you referring?

I was able to backup DXKeeper log this morning and I hope that I will be able to update my log with that file after going back to a restore point.

Did you direct Windows to create a Restore Point before "on Sunday afternoon is when all this started"?

After a recent Win7 reload, found w/ the help of Elecraft that I need to change to a new KUSB cable (w/ Chip set) serial to USB cable along with new Driver. Looks like this makes the Commander Comm Port "Comm 6" which in the past has been Comm 3 or 4 depending on which computer I used. Any issue for Commander & Launcher?

>>>The Launcher doesn’t employ serial ports. Commander can use any serial port whose # is 16 or less.

I just worked TX7EU on 10M SSB, but in Spot Collector it is still showing as unworked.? However I have not worked them on 12M CW and that is blacked out saying that I have worked it.? Any ideas, other than rebooting?

?

>>>Evidently, you’ve worked TX7EU’s DXCC entity on both 12m and in CW, though not necessarily with the same QSO.

What I’m talking about is I currently have 4 apps open if I go to launcher and click minimize all 4 of the apps on the screen will go away. Then when I click on restore all 7 apps come back up and I have to click on each of the ones that I don’t want up to minimize them. What I was asking was is there a way to only have the 4 that were open when I click on the minimize button re-open when I click on the restore button?

?

>>>There’s not. As it’s popup explanation indicates, the purpose of the Launcher’s Restore button is to restore the windows of all running DXLab applications.

Did you direct Windows to create a Restore Point before you installed Malwarebytes?

My OS is Windows 7. On Saturday Malware Bytes told me my trial period was up. Thinking I had the Free version I then Installed Malware Bytes.
On Sunday afternoon is when this all started

No Malware programs on this pc, checked the firewall and all apps are listed, everything on the pc is running under Administrator.

Safe mode test, I can open Launcher and look at the latest updated version etc. Then opened all the app until I got to Commander, it will not open and now Launcher will not respond and I am unable to close down my pc unless I unplug the AC cord.

In safe mode one thing that stands out and that is Launcher does not appear in the lower right hand corner of the screen where it normally resides. It now shows up the the upper left hand corner. Other apps opened in their normal position.

This is beyond my comprehension.

*Which* suggested set-up attributed to me did you read?

There are two equally valid options. The one described by Elecraft
is good for any software that regularly polls the K3/P3 combo as long
as the computer is running. The other own uses Commander's Secondary
CAT Serial port and a special cable connected to the SteppIR DATA OUT
port works with the SteppIR protocol and any transceiver supported by
Commander (not just the limited transceiver protocols supported by
SteppIR).

> I have used the SteppIR "Y" cable to connect the P3/K3 with the SteppIR controller and Y base (stem of Y ) to the computer via the serial to USB cable. The Elecraft Tech staff says that base of the "Y" (new connector or I hope still the SteppIR Y) should connect to the P3 PC Port and the new KUSB serial to USB goes from one branch of the Y to the PC, while the other branch connects to SteppIR controller. (P3 and K3 connect with a separate cable). Makes sense to me . . . but seems different from a Joe Subich (W4TV) suggested set up I read.
