Windows/ME WARNING! or "My RIGblaster is stuck in transmit after Windows/ME boots up."
|
Windows/ME (Millennium Edition) has been reported by many RIGblaster owners as causing a problem.
After boot up Windows/Me leaves the DTR line of the Com ports in a high state causing the RIGblaster to keep your rig keyed up.
If you have Windows/ME, and only Windows/ME there is a Microsoft fix for this problem. It is described on the Microsoft site as Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Line Set to HIGH After Starting Windows Me (Q285894).
|
The fix described on the Microsoft page referenced above can be downloaded here.
The file (285894.zip) is a zip file and will need to be unzipped with any of the many available unzip utilities.
Running this will extract (un compress) two files. (285894USAM.EXE and hotfix.txt).
Follow the instructions in hotfix.txt to implement this fix on your copy of Windows/ME.
Again, this fix applies to Windows/ME only. It will not install on other versions Windows.

HP Computer with Windows/XP Pre-Loaded | RIGblaster stuck in transmit after Windows/XP boots
New HP Computers having Windows/XP pre-loaded have been reported by several RIGblaster owners as causing a problem that previously only happened on Windows/ME.
After boot up the DTR line of the Com ports are in a high state causing the RIGblaster to keep your rig keyed up.
If you have Windows/XP, pre-loaded on a new HP Computer here is a possible fix for this problem.
| The solution from HP Tech Support suggests going to the Device Manager and removing all the Communications Port(COMx)s, as listed under Ports (COM & LPT), then re-boot Windows/XP and it will reinstall the drivers and the problem should go away. This solution was provided by GEORGE MANNING/K1CG who after several trys finally got to the right tech at HP who suggested the above fix. If you have this problem, we suggest you call HP Tech Support at 208-323-2551 and reference Case Number 1544508374. PALM PILOT WARNING! or my RIGblaster is stuck in transmit
after Windows boots up. | Note: Palm Pilot software with any version of
Windows will cause your RIGblaster to transmit if it is plugged in to the same serial port that your Palm Pilot cradle is
supposed to be plugged in to. If you have a little icon with red and blue and arrows pointing toward the center of a circle
in your system tray (the system tray is down at the bottom right corner of your screen where the date is) your RIGblaster
will not work if plugged in to the Com port that is configured for your Palm Pilot.
| To fix this Palm Pilot problem either move the RIGblaster to a different serial port connection or do the following: go to "Start", "Programs", "Palm Desktop", and run "Palm Desktop". From the pull downs in the Palm Desktop software, select "HotSync", "Setup" and go to the "General" tab; un-check "Always available [put in Startup folder]". Re-start Windows and the problem will be gone. Next time you wish to use your Palm Pilot, just use the Palm Desktop program to sync your Palm Pilot. Top of Page | |
