[hpsdr] Windows 7 64bit Errors

Sat Feb 19 16:08:52 PST 2011

Bingo!! I do believe I figured it out.

As it turns out Jeff's question about the USB driver was key. Basically my interpretation of what happena is that the *first* time PWRSDR is run it expects to find the USB driver for Ozy which in turn implies to the program that there is a Janus.

So what I did to fix this was to install the USBIO driver to support Janus/Ozy. Connected my Janus/Ozy card stack, and then launched PWRSDR. It immediately was able to come completely up. I then closed the PSDR program, removed the Janus/Ozy, reconnect the Metis/Mercury and launched again, this time no complaints. Aha!!

So what I think it boils down to is that all the folks running Ozy/Mercury for sometime now and then later changed to Metis later did not encounter this. While those of use who fired up machines that never ran Ozy/Janus previously did run into this problem.

So in the end I doubt it has anything to do with W7 x64 itself, but instead starting with a "clean" machine in terms of having never run Ozy/Jaus.
