Steve,

Re: Help getting JMRI working on a new WIN10 computer
OK - right. It was only as the logs were never mentioned that I chimed in on the off-chance. All bases covered, then, apparently. Wouter

Wouter,
The System Console log file, when a Locobuffer (or any Loconet based device)? is involved, does not provide much. This is not like NCE and all the details that are thrown back and forth. All we see in the log is the connection type that was opened and all the other JMRi housekeeping. Even with the error condition replicated, there is nothing in the log that reports or shows it occuring.? This is pure USB.?
NCE is USB and RS-232 so there is much checking if USB is ok, then RS-232 baud and jumpers. None of this in the Loconet interface world
I've encountered defective Locobuffer-USB before and the console log was of no help.
Ross has been at this for a long time and I have read him for years (never met) on different forums, so I know he has dotted all the "I"s.

Re: Versions 4.16 & 4.17
One thing to add. If the roster.xml file and the locoxxx.xml and images are supposed to be in two separate locations, then the <>???is incorrect. According to it, they should be in the same directory.
Thanks for catching that error in the documentation. I will fix that this morning.
It should read:
"Roster Location (portable name = "roster:")This location contains:- Your "roster" folder. This contains:
- An XML file for each loco entry in your roster, with stored CV values, etc.
- Copies of media files you have added to roster entries, throttles etc.?
(Older JMRI versions stored roster images in a "resources" folder in the User Files Location. If you have been using JMRI for a long time, you may have roster images in both locations.) - ".bak" files, which are backup versions of entries in your roster.
- A "consist" folder, which stores information on consists you have created using the Consist tools in JMRI.
- A "roster.xml" file, which is a (recreatable) index of the XML files in the "roster" folder. You should create/recreate "roster.xml" (Actions->Recreate Roster Index) if it is missing or you are experiencing roster problems.
By default the Roster Location is the same as (and follows) the User Files location unless you explicitly set a different location. You are free to change the Roster Location as you like (Preferences->Roster->Roster->Location Set/Reset). The Reset button causes the Roster Location to again follow the User Files location." I will fix that this morning.

Re: Pausing in a section JMRI ver 4.15.9
Steve,
? ? Maybe it has to do with train length.? I'll check that out next. But strange thing is I did a test with the single block section behind it and the train did slow down when it entered the block and stopped after the last block was cleared, but it had also entered the block ahead.? Not so with the two block section.

Re: Versions 4.16 & 4.17
I see what you mean, but it's pretty easy (at least for me) to assume that 'Roster Location' and 'Roster Folder' are the same place. And it does say that the media files can be in the Roster Location, which is apparently incorrect. If the roster.xml and the loco.xml/ media files are supposed to be in two separate locations then maybe add a statement to the effect. Just a suggestion.
I would also suggest adding a link to the ProfileFileStructure page to the Technical Section of the main JMRI Help page unless it's there already and I just can't see it.. I can never find it when I need it.
In any event, I moved the roster.xml to the User Files location (the folder that contains the Roster folder along with the profile folders, systemfile, etc.) , renamed the roster.xml and .bak to 'Oldroster', reinstalled 4.17.2, and restarted DP with all of the media files showing on the roster.
Again, thank you everyone for helping me work through this.

Stopping is based on block length vs. train length, and whether or not you have resistor wheel sets checked. Or there's different logic if you have a speed profile for that loco.

Re: Versions 4.16 & 4.17
Dave and all, The Roster directory, which is where Roster Location currently points to,? indeed contains the roster.xml file, the Locoxxx.xml files, and the image files. Dave, it also has a nested Roster directory in it which also contains all of the Locoxxx.xml files and image files. Curiously, it also contains a Consist directory which contains a Consist.xml file. I was fiddling with the Consist Tool on July 25 and that's the date on both the directory and Consis.xml file. I didn't create them so it must have been done by the software and put here for some reason. I didn't create either of the nested Roster or Consist directory, at least on purpose. What I propose to do is move the roster.xml file out of the Roster directory and into the User Files area and repoint the Roster Location Setting to this new location.?

Re: Help getting JMRI working on a new WIN10 computer
Jim,
Thank you for your thoughts.
Checking the BIOS settings is a good hint. Hadn't thought of this angle.
All indications from Device Manager are that the drivers are properly installed and operating; no indication of any 'mystery device.' I'd checked this before calling Dick and again with Dick. Also checked after re-installing the drivers.
I'm confident the '3rd party' Dick has on the RR-CirKits web site didn't leave a 'stuck driver.' Dick uses this for the more common situation of a user not fully installing the drivers. We used it here as a 'last-ditch' effort just in case; we were already quite certain I'd correctly installed the drivers (as I've done many times for both myself and others.)
Dick's customer service is 'over-the-top,' amongst the best I've seen in any business. He and I are both baffled by this; something we've never seen. We both hope to learn something that will help others.

Have you used device manager to look for the created com port when the LocoBuffer is plugged in? Access from either files then this PC and properties or the windows menus windows system this PC properties... If the drivers loaded correctly you also should have seen the new hardware detected and then ready to use notifications when the LocoBuffer was plugged it. Not sure about Dick's removal tool catching it but there could be a stuck driver for the LocoBuffer, again device manager is the best tool possibly showing either a com with broken driver or a mystery device with the yellow triangle/!...

Dave,
So since it held it as a plain string, the normal bean name change
notification misses this. I wonder if there are other holes like this? I can
understand some cases where one line scripts are used as actions in Logix,
those would be strings and no way for code to know about them.
