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

[Roger and Diana]

Hello Terry,

As was mentioned, you need to be sure the correct driver for the 
software is installed.

Also, on Vista, if data execution prevention (DEP) is enabled it will 
stop WinRAD and PowerSDR dead in there tracks and often times show bogus 
faults. At least this was the case on my VISTA machine and on Windows 7 
64 bit. The good news is that I was able to get WinRAD, KISS and 
PowerSDR all to work with OZY/Mercury on the Vista machine (and the 
Windows 7) machine.

I believe I set the properties on the executables to run as 
administrator and added them to the list of software under the DEP list. 
(The DEP list is found by right clicking Computer in the Windows run 
menu and then clicking properties. On the left select Advanced system 
settings, then select Settings in the first window (performance). The 
third tab to the right is the DEP tab, select it. Select "Turn on DEP 
for all programs except for those I have selected. Add WinRAD, etc. At 
this point Vista will ask for a reboot to make the changes requested.

I have found that this makes some issues disappear under Vista. When in 
doubt for problems with known software packages, I add them to the list.

I hope this is of some help.

73,

Roger (N3AYY)
