Need technical support from FlexRadio? It's as simple as Creating a HelpDesk ticket.
The virtual serial port (VSP) failed to create.
Hi, smart sdr for windows. using 3.8.19. CAT will not create new virtual port. I get the message failed to create. I can't find Tim's message on how to reset using %AppData method.
I'm sure the virtual ports are corrupted. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I really don't want to reinstall windows 10 yet. lol. thanks Stuart

I can tell you that trying to reset can lead to a big mess. Better is to uninstall and reinstall per Flex recommendation.

Hi Erik, Yes I believe that was what I was looking for. Unfortunately it did not work. I might have really **** up the com ports in windows itself. I'll take any other suggestions to try before I go through the painful process of reinstalling windows😥. Really appreciate your help! thanks.

You could try Com Port Arbiter -
The theory is that it will remove the unused reservations and stuck phantom devices that prevent new installations such as FlexVSP. I have used it successfully but I cannot guarantee it will solve your issue. It must be worth a try ahead of having to reinstall Windows.
