Hi GroupI'm Bob vk2byfYears ago I used to monitor the 145.175 frequency using
an IC-02A and a Kantronics KPC-3 TNC. I'm pretty sure I was using
UI-View.Lately I have bee renewing my interest in Amateur Radio by chasing
after the satellites and learning packet again.some QuestionsI tried an old
PC with legacy RS232 ports but can't even get to the setup screen. It runs
Windows XPCan I use UI-view32 with Windows 7?I registered and got a number
years ago but it won't accept the number now.I re registered and got the same
number again but it still wont accept it.I even downloaded UI-View32 again
and registered it but I just can't get past that first screen.Is there
another packet program that will run on Windows 7 64bit?Ultimately I would
like to digipeat through the ISS and some of the new Satellites.I have tried
AGW and UISS but had trouble transmitting. (prolific/windows driver) RX was
ok.I have tried for a long time to work it out by myself but the old brain is
worn out.Thanks's in advance if someone could point me in the right
direction.73 Bob
UIview installs and runs on all versions of Windows up to 8.1, 32- or 64-bit.
(I presume it also will work on Win 10, but I haven't tested it.) I currently
have it running on two XP machines, one Win7-32 machine, two Win7-64 machines
and three Win 8.1 tablets.
Before you install on newer operating systems, read and heed the info on my
webpage at:

Note especially the considerations for installing in Windows 7 and later, if
you decide to install on one of these OSs.
________________________________________________
A wild random guess at a possible cause of your registration problem:
Are you entering your name EXACTLY the same way you submitted it to the UIview
registrars? The "magic number" you receive is based on a hash of your name as
submitted AND your callsign. If you registered with "Robert" and try to enter
"Bob" it will fail. If you registered including you middle initial and then
entered you name without the middle initial during install, it will fail.
