[hpsdr] Need help with vista 32-bit (sorry)

[Bill Tracey]

Terry,

Not sure what the famous "Vista and USB problem is" -- I've got Vista 
on the main box I use  for development these days and it works fine 
with Ozy and friends.   A while back (over a year) we did have some 
issues loading firmware and FPGA on Vista,  but that's been fixed for 
quite a while now so I doubt that's what you're hitting.

Can you give more details as to what is not working, symptoms you've 
got.  You say you've tried Winrad and  the WinUSB drivers - you do 
realize you'll have to switch the drivers back to the libusb based 
drivers.    To see if you've got the right device drivers talking to 
the board  look in the device manager.  If the libusb driver are 
loading you'll see "Ozy Host Assisted Firmware Load" listed under 
LibUSB-Win32 devices.

Regards,

Bill (kd5tfd)
