Hi friends, -
my mate G0UZP Paul who is also keen on using fldigi as a future
substitute to MixW, alerted me to a problem he encounters on his W-XP
laptop. He expressly asked me to publish his query here (previously
he had asked the same question on the navigator group without
response):

Hi all,
I have also experienced problems with fldigi ver3.03.
I installed it to my laptop winxp sp2 etc etc.
Everything seemed ok, got the rig cat working FT857D.
Did a test and after a few minutes fldigi locked up in a major way.
Did a reboot, again it worked ok then locked up.
On the third attempt, I noticed at the bottom of the screen it came
up
with I/O error. That only came up when I got the cat working...It was
then I noticed that if I tried to alter anything in the configure
menu
of fldigi, the lock up happened.
This baffled me as it works perfectly in HRD/DM780. Then I tried
Mixw,
again all ok. It is only used for radio stuff now.
Laptop is a fujitsu-siemens amillio M series. Intel 1.8ghz 1 meg ram.

As the laptop had not been cleaned for over 4 years.. ie: wiped I
decided to do that as there was a lot of stuff that might of made the
conflict.
I have fdisked and reintalled xp, the only software now on it now is
HRD/DM780 & fldigi ver 3.03xp.
I will say I have it on my main computer running vista and it works
perfectly. With no gliches..
Regards
Paul G?UZP

Does this problem ring a bell with someone?

Hi Fred


Well one important thing not to overlook is that there is not another
instance of cygwin1.dll residing on the drive. It is also important
to re initialise the ports after any changes. Not sure if then it is
neccesary to come out of the software after saving, and then re
run it, but that's what I have done.

The rigcat functions appear to be limited, as I think Hamlib may be.
In that they only seem to operate cat frequency functions, and a ptt
string I guess where that is required. I am no software developer
as you know, but the cat capability should have the ability to be
able to carry out other functions. Like being able to select the
radio's bandwidth filters irrespective of mode. But then that would
be useful if it could be addressed by a macro etc. I haven't found
a method for example of being able to switch from the ssb filter to
my cw filter within rigcat, and all this may be down to my understanding
of how it should work. I played with trying to insert the string into my
rigcat file but it didn't work :-).

Hey I am not complaining hi, the work already done with fldigi is great,
and if I had the skills to assist inworking with the code I would do.
Despite the limitations I really enjoy using fldigi. I did have a lockup
problem earlier in my playing, and what I did was to remove all the
config files, and allow the new version to rewrite them.
This isn't accepted as a neccesity I am told, but in my case it resolved
the problem.

Just a few thoughts :-)

Cheers

Dave

Thanks very much, Dave, I passed your message on to Paul. In case
there are further questions I shall revert to this problem.
