[WT-support] Scripts Fail to Run after crash

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Are you running Windows 11?  The hardware may be OK, but the device drivers
for the KEYSPAN may not be out of date.  Did you try installing this driver?

If you're already running the latest driver, replace the Keyspan with one
of the FTDI USB-to-Serial adapters listed in my presentation linked from my
QRZ.com page <https://www.qrz.com/db/n6tv>:
