CW Skimmer issues

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm having some issues with getting CW Skimmer cooperating with my computer. Here's the situation.

Flex 6600 with SmartSDR 3.7.4

Computer - HP Envy laptop, running Windows 10 three screens.

Software N1MM

Slice Master

CW Skimmer

All the software is latest, and computer is up to date.

Install is according to Mike's Youtube video.

Here's what happens - I can install the Software, and set it up, and it works FB - once. On a reboot or second running, weird stuff happens.

Slice Master opens Skimmer, but on the taskbar, it shows a blank and I can click on it, and nothing shows up.

On several occasions, the band I'm evaluating CW Skimmer on ends up with a "No TX" on the lower left hand side of SSDR. Other bands are okay, but I can't get any TX on the band I was looking at until I reset the radio. Then it works again until it happens again. But still the one time setup of Skimmer and Slicemaster then not working.

Skimmer works pretty well that first time. But only that time.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
