All: Trying to make this work on a new install of Windows7, 64 bit. According to the help file, this should work, but every time I start SATPC32, it wants IOPORT.SYS in WINNT/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS. Which I created, but still doesn't start without complaining.
Any suggestions? Thanks & 73, Jim wb4gcs@amsat.org
Jim, IOPort.SYS is a 32-bit kernel driver which doesn't work on 64-bit Windows. On 64-bit Windows the SatPC32 setup program installs it to C:\Windows\SydWOW64\drivers. It is used (on 32-bit systems only) with some rotor interfacce (IF-100, FODTrack etc.). These interfaces therefore can't be used on 64-bit Windows. Older SatPC32 versions used the IF-100 by default.
What version of SatPC32 do you use? Did you make settings regarding rotor control?
