Cannot start to read decoders


 

Hi, I am running DecoderPro since many years without any Problem. I recently got another Laptop with win11Pro preinstalled - Version 24H2. After installation DecoderPro ask me to get started by checking in with a new Loco placed on the programming track. It comes back with the correct decoder and I store it in the Roster.
?
When I exit and restart DecoderPro I click NEW+ to get a new Loco and decoder? recognized, but the field at the bottom left ( Read decoder type) is greyed out.?
After deinstallation i even deleted all remnants from JMRI and even cleaned the registry as far as I could.
?
I reinstalled? - did no new Lokomotive, but tried to import a complete Lokpark/Roster from my second laptop - all 104 locos appeared correctly, but I cannot add a new locomotive/decoder because? in the new locomotive Window the button at the bottom left (read decoder Type) is still greyd out. And no - I am not Read only....
?
I red several JMRI topics, I tried to rebuild the coplete Lokpar/Roster (which did nothing) and so I am stuck.
?
I am working with DR5000/Yamorc YD7001 and Z21, I can work with the Throttle without any Problem, so the connection to my centralStation is ok (over WIFI by the way)
?
I am currently on 5.10.4 Release but tried also the? 5.11.4 TestRelease with same result.
Can I ask to help me ?
Vest regards?

Erik, I suspect we'll hear from others on this, but I noticed what I believe is the same behavior on my system, and perhaps it was a change made during a recent update.? When you open your Roster, click on any entry and you'll see that the buttons at the bottom right will transition from "greyed out" to "active."? It was a head-scratcher for me until I found the solution, and I recall restarting JMRI several times before I discovered it.? HTH!

..thats a funny one - will try it this evening and report back !


 

Hello again,
?
sorry but this did not work. I reinstalled several times, used English an my on German? language. Interestingly, it works for me for one or two or there entries, but then ist stops working. In the very last line (status line?) of the create new loco Window it comes up with normal messages, i.e. reading cv xyz etc., but then it displays (not every time) "pause..." instead of idle and the "Read Type" field and the "Open Comprehensive ..." fields are grey out.
There is also a simple programmer which has the READ CV field greyed out, the Write CV field is avtive.
I can control a loco with the throttle tough ! It is not version dependant, as I use same versions on both PCs - I assume it is dependant on Windows, I use 21H2 and 24H2 - on the former it works on the latter it does not. It seems to me something is locking itself out inside the JMRI.
