there guys<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> I
am Juan EA5BM new wintest user. For now I am playing with this soft and I will
test in proper contest. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have a few problems with this soft that I try to expose: I have installed the
registered version of WT into a new laptop running winXP but without
serial and paralell ports (db9 and db25), all the conectors are
USB :-(((((.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
first problem is how to transmit cw thorugh a usb port. DLPORTIO.SYS and .DLL
files have been installed to avoid the "DLPORTIO.SYS device driver
not loaded ...." windows mistake message. I have purchased an usb to db25
printer port adaptor, but wintest seems that do not recognize it as LPT <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This
usb adapter is recognized by winXP in control panel/system/hardware as a
Universal Serial Bus controller/ USB printing Suport but not as LPT or emulled
LPT. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>¿What
can I do? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
second problem (not sure if consecuence of the first) is that I can not hear de
cw transmited running WT. The laptop speaker runs OK in all programs but
not in WT. (f.e. pushing F1, the CQ is not heard on laptop, of course in a
CW contest) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>¿
Any idea about what is happening? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>As
you can deduce I am not computer techincal. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Any
answer and any help will be appreciated. Juan, EA5BM <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
