Mark,
You were spot on.... Windows did not recognize (see) ANY ports , even though
it had previously.
Windows Device Manager did not even show a "Ports" Icon (and associated Icom
driver files which were previously downloaded). Why, I don't know?
Closing out all programs, shutting down computer, disconnecting USB (A-B) cable
from laptop, restarting computer, re connecting USB cable and then going to
Writelog file set up , and selecting Icom 7851 in commport 3 fixed the problem.
Many thanks
Noll W9RN

Hi Noll,
This sounds like a problems with Windows thinking the Com port is missing, not
setup, or in use by some other previous program. Does Com 3 show in the Device
Manager, Ports? Doesn't the 7851 connect by USB and need a special Virtual Com
Port Driver? If that's not installed, then Windows will not find the port.
There are some tips about ICOM USB ports here:

Good luck,
