Has anyone else had a problem getting PowerSDR to run? It loaded fine
after I added other software it wanted (like .net framework) but now it
won't run. When I start PowerSDR the logo comes up but when it says
it's initializing DSP it hangs and never does anything else. the PC is
not hung; other applications still work. I have to reboot to clear
PowerSDR's logo from the screen. The PC is a 1.8 Ghz Dell running
Windows ME. I tried both power SDR 1.4.1 and 1.4.4 and then tried new
downloads of each. There must be something missing on my PC but I have
no idea what. My SR40 came in the mail today. Any help or ideas would
be great.

What changed between it running and not running? Did it at one point come up successfully? If so try deleting or renaming PowerSDR.mdb and see if that gets it going.

After initializing the DSP the code initializes the parallel port and then PortAudio -- any chance some other app is using the parallel port?

The PC is a 1.8 Ghz Dell running
Windows ME.

The Flex-Radio guys only claim support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, so Windows ME is somewhat uncharted territory.

Nick -- not sure I'd get too hopeful. After inquiring on the Flex-Radio list for people's experiences with Window ME and PowerSDR I tend to believe this is not going to work on ME -- I got no reports of anyone successfully running on ME and a number of reports of failures, including one that matched the symptoms you saw.
