Cat repair-another Windows update

Sergey KN7K

After many Windows reminders i finally rebooted my PC to let windows to install latest update last night.
MY PC crashed several times today when after I started SSDR.
As a result I see only COM12 and TCP port 5002 at SSDR - all other CAT's are gone.
I do see them in a PC Management but cannot do anything in SSDR.

Does anyone has a reliable/proven method to fix it?
Here is what I see




Thanks

 So  if that did not work, try this. to find the driver do the same as above but find the driver for the version of SDR the worked . Run as administrator and then rt click and uninstall everything except the good Cat driver. Then Simply go back and download and install the last  good working version of SMART SDR  and then uninstall all except the  good Cat driver, keep the Cat driver from the old working version Then download the new version of smart SDR and install. Uninstall all of the old version but keep the old Cat that worked. Then go back to your desktop,   When on your desktop just RT click Smartcat and rename it to the newest version of Smart Sdr your using. Your simply using the new version smart sdr but keeping the old working cat... This worked for me, my cat ports changed a few times when I upgraded to a new version of SDR or sometimes when I get a windows update. This made me nuts. Your simply using the last cat control from the previous version  that worked and it should work just fine with the newest upgrade.  I hope this helps you. And I hope I have explained it correctly as sometimes my mind says one thing and I know what I want to say but, when I'm trying to explain It's a bit harder. I have to go through the steps myself to make sure I'm telling you the correct way. when done, you may need to reboot your pc.  Good luck my friend. 73 FishulaX

i guess I am lost here - "uninstall everything except the good Cat driver"
What does that mean and how I can do that?
Thanks

I have the same problem all my CAT and PTT ports gone, I cannot go into CAT program and use the same old ports I had to create new ones CAT and PTT ports. How does one assign the same old and also delete them. This is second time when I have lost the ports, it's a bit annoying.

Before doing that procedure I would open the CAT menu, right-click <REMOVE> and "reset FlexVSP ports".  This will remove all of them and one can add the desired ones.  Suggest a warm-reboot and wait a few minutes after the system comes up after the reset.
