Lock Up using Vista
w1ret
Hello all.
I have been using fldigi on an XP operating system with no problems. I recently upgraded to a new pc running Windows Vista Home Premium with a 64 bit operating system. I have installed the latest v3.03 for Vista operting system (fldigi-3.03-winV.zip). Everything runs fine for 5 to 10 minutess and then fldigi locks up. The waterfall stops, and some of the funtion keys work. For examaple it I select TX it will go into TX mode but it will take several seconds before the function actually changes. You can never get it back to RX. With Hamlib Controller you can change to a stored frequency but the frequency display is incorrect on the controller. Here are the specs on the new pc if it helps. Model: HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook PC Processor: AMD Turuion X@ Dual_Core Mobile RM-70 2 GHz Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB System type: 64-bit Operating System I am using a RigExpert Plus USB interface which I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers. I have downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 for the Vista operating system. So I'm pretty sure I've got evertything up to date and the radios are an IC-703 and FT- 1000MP. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated as the old XP system has bit the dust and I'm exclusively on the new PC. Thanks and 73, Jim W1RET |

Have you tested out your Rigexpert on another data mode software ie like MixW ?. I remember reading somewhere about provlems with 64bit Vista drivers. Best Regards, Dave G3VFP . w1ret wrote: Hello all. |

Yes, but I can't remember where I saw the article. Certainly worth checking out with the agent for sure. I assume you have already tried using it with MixW on the same system. MixW version 2.18 automatically installs the rigexpert so you would soon find out if there were a problem. In general guys have had problems installing some software(s) with Vista, and I have a pdf file on it which I will place in the win-fldigi files area. In fact there will be a message and link following this mail. Worth checking out these various options anyhow Jim. Best Regards, Dave G3VFP On 22/10/2008 23:06:05, w1ret (w1ret@...) wrote:

Dave,
Yes, I have sent off an email this evening asking about 64 bit drivers. I haven't reloaded mixw yet but I have tried it with DM780/HRD with the same results. I will try to load mixw and see if that anwers any questions. Thanks for the help and the file! 73, Jim W1RET --- In win-fldigi@..., Dave <g3vfp@...> wrote: software ie > like |
