Dear Erik,
The driver that he downloaded IS signed!

Hi Craig,

I just went though a driver problem with com0com.  Check the properties 
of the device.  If you see error code 52, it mean that the driver was 
not accepted by Windows since it needs to be signed.  Let me know and I 
can dig out the work-around process.

>Well, with a valid installation of the driver, what I described is what you should see on Windows 10. YMMV.  If it doesn't, it's very complex to try to diagnose a Windows driver problem remotely, if it didn't install or doesn’t show up properly.

>As far as running as Administrator: if you right-click the icon you use to launch PowerSDR, it likely should have a setting (maybe it's under compatibility) to 'run as administrator'.  And if that's true, then you get asked when you run PowerSDR if you want it to change your system (or if you trust it or whatever.)  You need to make the non-default choice.  If you don't see that message, it isn't running as administrator.  And you're screwed until it is.

You should of course consult the PowerSDR manual.  And GitHUB to ensure that you have a consistent set of firmware for all the boards you have defined to PowerSDR.  I'm sure you mean 'Hardware' and not 'Harare'...
