No CAT, no DAX?

ON5AM

Hello Community,
a week ago, turning on my flex, I no longer had a CAT port. I tried everything then I erased everything and reinstalled everything at least 10 times.
I note that the "Flex VSP" drivers are not installed. It's impossible to install them manually.
It's impossible to install DAX, even with Tim's trick. I am confused.
I opened a tiket last Friday but I don't have any help and that's why that's I'm asking to the Flex community. Do you have a solution ?

Hi Albert,
I had the same issue several months ago.
I follow this: https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205000829-Troubleshooting-FlexVSP-Not-Running-Errors

In fact the Virtual Serial Port Kit service was not running.
 You can see informations how to fix this issue at the end post.

It solves my problem here.
Just in case you find it useful!

Likely your system did a Win10 update.  The latest updates breaks some installations, but not all. 

Jean-Luc's post covers the first bases towards repairing things.

As an FYI if you are using certain VPN clients, the latest Windows updates also often upset that software.  Again usually a App>Repair or a more invasive Uninstall/Reinstall often fixes things.

If you have complicated profiles remember to export them before uninstalling or reinstalling SmartSDR itself.  Just in case.  

One of my Win10 machines required multiple rebooting before it would work right.  I also used the SmartSDR installer as the manual method of reinstalling FlexVSP didn't take.

Do you have the cat and dax utility program installed. This is a little program that saves dax and cat settings, then you just use it to put all the settings back just like you want them.

Bonjour Bill,
oui, DAX est présent

That sounds very handy.  Do you know the program name and where to find it?
Thanks!

I found!
The problem came from updating windows. Everything works as before, unfortunately I had to reset Window 10. I lost a lot of things but smartSDR works...
One last thing: the Flexradio help desk din't help me, it was not at all reliable!

Make sure you download and install the little file manager utility I post here, it can save you in the future if you have another rainy day.
