Hi Stewart

I think the DLPortIO thing is a red herring - I thought that it was only needed where a 25 way parallel port is being used under Windows XP or above (as far as I know!)

As for the rest of it....

Is the com port showing up correctly in DEVICE MANAGER? (Control Panel> System> Device Manager).

Are you using WinKey? If not, why not!?

Is sound enabled on your PC? 

Having just tested my installation here, no sidetone is produced in 'standalone' mode i.e. no connections between laptop and radio. This is despite enabling sound in Win-Test (SOUND command).

Happy to discuss off-reflector if required.

====
I have installed Windows XP on an Asus EEE mini laptop. I am using one of
these Prolific USB to Serial convertors. I have installed DLPortIO. This is
an arrangement which has worked on other computers.
There is no CW sound at all (with sound on or off) and no CW keying on the
serial line. No PTT either.
Is there something which I have forgotten to do, or do I have a problem with
my hardware here...?
