Loosing CAT ports nr after reboot

Hi
Since a couple off week, after installing the latest version of smartsdr, I am loosing the device nr for the cat ports.
Checking with CommNameArbiterTool, the ports are present but no Kernel name and therefore not recognized by my programs like Logger32 JTDX etc.
I have to remove the ports from CATSDR close CAT and start again to create the ports.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks

They have a procedure to resolve it.
Sometimes, it is a 100% windows issue causing it. I had 1 friend who had it and reinstalled Windows and the problem disappeared.

Hi,
I found the problem, there was another vsp manager loaded.
I did remove the flex vsp manager and the other one.
Restarted windows.
Did a new installation of the flex vsp in the proper C:\applications directory.
Restarted windows and everything works ok now.
Restarting windows between processes is needed to clean the windows stacks
Thanks for your help

One rule of good operation:
ALWAYS close CAT before restarting your computer, and ESPECIALLY before allowing Windows to auto-reboot the computer after Windows Updates.
Sometimes Windows Update's "auto-reboot" does not do so "gracefully."

I found the problem.
I tested once a utility from ELTIMA that manage virtual ports.
After a while I did uninstall the program properly but apparently the .dll and .sys where still present.It was not possible to delete those entries as they are active immediately after a Windows start.
Removing the register keys did help.
A register clean-up did the trick.I am glad to be able to use the Flex CAT properly now.

That explains a lot.
I had a problem with the Icom drivers a few years ago. And, I had been using the Eltima software.
I eventually had to rebuild the computer from scratch to solve the problem even though I had uninstalled anything to do with the serial ports.
thanks for sharing.
