[Dxbase] WinKey and the com port

Thu Sep 22 16:30:46 EDT 2005

After some detective work, I, finally, got my WinKey to work, in WKXP, 
N1MM and
DXBase2006. I am currently handicapped until my new comport card comes 
in to give me more
than one comport.
What I have run into are a couple of issues.
1) Even though I did not have the "connect radio to com port" box 
checked, I could not run
WinKey until I actually said "None" for radio. I could have probably 
changed the port number
to a another port even though I do not have it now.
2) The real concern is, after I shut down DXBase2006, I went to WKXP and 
could not open
WinKey again. Not until I opened DXBase, unselected WinKey, then shut 
DXBase back down,
could I open WKXP. DXBase, apparently, tied up com 1, even though it was 
shut down.
Once I get the other com ports installed, issue one will not be a 
problem, but 2) will be a real
hassle if I have to go through that every time I switch programs. Is 
this normal or am I doing
something wrong? I am new to DXBase Windows and Windows XP OS.
