Running XP with SatPC32 and the program does exactly what it is supposed to do with my IC-9100 and my Yaesu5 500 rotator. However when I am finished for the day and go to close it, it tells me "Access Denied." And then I have to reboot the machine to shut it down. What a nuisance. I have tried running the program in Administrator mode, no help. I have tried closing it through Task Manager...same message, "Access Denied." Anyone solved this problem? I am getting close to making my first contact. But the pileups are dense and cannot get back more than my call sign. No QSO yet.

Off the cuff, are you running another program at the same time that is accessing the same com ports? I get this error occasionally in that scenario.

I've had it happen recently on a laptop when it goes to sleep with it running.

I have seen this before, the USB port has glitched, you can cause this by static or RF or a funky USB cable, anything that causes windows to recycle the port.
Never ran my 9100 on XP, but I can tell you I have seen this on 7 and 8.1,but with 8.1 you get a better audio driver that is not over-driven and you get a task manager than can close satpc32 without rebooting.

Don,
Try closing the SatPC32 program first, then turn off the rotor and radio.
Some how I remember that from the past.
BOB KO6TZ
Don, the problem is caused by the built-in USB-to-Serial adapter of the IC-9100 in front of the CI-V interface of the radio. CAT control of the IC-9100 works completely flawlessly (like it does with the IC-910H) if you connect the radio via it's traditional CI-V jacket instead via one of the USB ports. The built-in USB-to-Serial adapter in front of the CI-V CAT interface is fed by the radio and not by the PC like external adapters. So, if you switch off the radio while CAT control is still working you have the same situation as if you unplug an external USB-to-Serial adapter while data exchange is running. I don't have an IC-9100 at present. I loaned one for 4 months when I programmed the routines for the radio. I observed also the error. When I switched off the radio first (while CAT control was running) I got the repeated message : “Internal error retrieving device control block for the port”. I have mentioned that in the FAQs file (fig. 5 o). I tried to trap the error. The error routine should switch off CAT control (C-) to prevent a crash, if I remember correctly, but I don't know now how reliably it works. So, as Bob, KO6TZ, wrote: switch off the program first or disable CAT control (C-) before you switch off the radio. .
I steered the radio also via the CI-V jacket using a CAT cable (= USB-to-Serial adapter + interface for level conversion) and also used an external USB-to-Serial adapter + my Icom CAT interface. That works absolutely lawlessly because the adapter is fed by the PC and remains fed when you switch off the radio.
