[RTTY] Problem with radio programs

[Dick White]

I have a problem with trying to use my radio programs. All were working ok
until two days ago. When I boot the computer the green light blinks 3 times
on the RigBlaster Plus as it always does to show a connection. I only use
the radio programs for RTTY rag chewing, chasing DX and RTTY contesting.
Programs I use for RTTY are, MMTTY (ver.1.65),  N1MM (ver.7.10.0 and MixW
(ver. 2.18).
I first noticed it when I opened MixW, there was nothing showing on the
water fall and no print on the screen. I opened MMTTY and it was the same,
except, in the water fall space it said "Lost sound". I opened N1MM and the
MMTTY engine was missing. Not there at all. When I try to exit N1MM and
MMTTY, it will not exit. The little hour glass shows it is trying, but
nothing happens and it does not exit. I have to unplug the power cord to
shut off the computer and then plug it back in to reboot.

I did not change anything. This just started on it's own. I have checked all
the cables and reseated them. I can still S/R CW and SSB. I have checked the
settings on my radio and I do not see anything set wrong. The RF is wide
open and the AF is set to my comfort level. The rig is set to antenna "A",
which is where I use it all the time.

Equipment: Mark-5 Field,  RigBlaster Plus, MMTTY, N1MM with MMTTY engine and
MixW. I have plenty of space on my hard drive and 1 gig of memory. I do not
know what sound card I have. But, it has worked ok for the past 5 years.

I know nothing about the inner workings of a computer. Can someone help me
find out the problem? I want to get back on RTTY soon as I am having
withdrawal symptoms. hi.

Merry Christmas    Dick  KS0M
