[hpsdr] USBIO and Vista?

[Gerald J. Herman]

Chris,

I'm not sure of the problem you are having with Vista, but I believe it is 
possibly the result of an unregistered driver. Vista requires drivers to be 
registered, or else you can during boot up hit F8 (the same method you would 
use to boot up in the Safe Mode) and there will be a selection allowing you 
to boot up without requiring registration of the drivers. Make this 
selection during boot up and possibly you will be able to boot up and use 
the USBIO driver with Vista. The hitch to this is that you will have to 
remember to boot up this way every time you boot up --- a good reason to 
allow the computer to hibernate and not boot it up more often than required.

Hope this helps.
