[WT-support] WT 4.6 & WIndows 7 Home 64-bit OS(Russian)

[Dave Sharred]

Bob, when I was going through my nightmare (!!); I saw the COM 5 port greyed
out too - even though the Baud rate doesn't affect CW..  The COM 5 port
correctly displayed, when I selected my rig type..

 

In Win 7 (64 bit);  if you don't have administrator rights, you normally get
a dialogue box telling you so, with 3 buttons - one has the Microsoft shield
on it; with a comment to Run as administrator or something like (the others
might be skip and cancel). Be sure to tick the right button Sergey !!

First, if you have a file named DLPORTIO.DLL in your Win-Test installation
directory, and Windows reports DLPORTIO.DLL cannot be loaded, something is
very wrong.

I don't have access to any 64-bit version of Windows, so I can't do any
testing or installing of InpOut32.dll myself.  N4ZR and others have it
working I think.  The following should work:

1.	Unzip InpOutBinaries_1300.zip to an empty folder
2.	Open the folder
3.	Right click on InstallDriver.exe and select "run as administrator"
4.	Note the default installation directory.  What does it use?  Maybe
you should specify our Win-Test installation directory, but I'm not sure
that it matters.
5.	After installation completes, open the installation directory, right
click on INPOUT32.DLL and Rename it DLPORTIO.DLL.  Then right click on it
and select Properties and verify that the file is really named DLPORTIO.DLL,
not DLPORTIO.DLL.DLL or similar.

But let us step back for a moment.  You do not need to use DLPORTIO.DLL
unless you want to use a real printer port for CW keying and SO2R control.
It has nothing to do with COM ports.

If all of your COM ports are grayed out, something is wrong.

Did you change Win-Test Properties (right click on Win-Test icon), then
select "Run in XP compatibility mode", and "Run as Administrator"?

Are you using microHAM router any other program to provide virtual COM
ports?

Please describe your hardware.  Real COM ports and Real Printer ports or USB
only with USB-to-Serial adapters, or microHAM box or something else?

Do you want to key CW on a COM port or an LPT port, or do you have a WinKey?

For Windows 7 64-bit, install InpOut32, rename InpOut32.dll to DLPortIO.DLL,
then try again.

Ignore the sound of CW on the laptop's speakers.  Type NOSOUND [Enter].

Hi!
There is a problem to use ports. After first RUN I've got an Error message
"Dlportio.sys not loaded...bla bla bla... not effected". Options-Interfaces
configuration... serial ports NOT ACTIVE(marked gray color) All the others
settings in this window are changeble. I tested cw with out connection to
the rig and it is sounds corrupted on laptop's speakerphone. The Google
search helps me to find out that I need this driver for 64 bit version and
those one included in the installation package of wt 4.6 not supported by
64-bit WIndows 7.
Any help will be appreciated.
