[TowerTalk] Win 98 and .wav revisited

[Tom Martin]

After downloading the latest update, I can now play the .wav files; however, they only play once.  I have to reboot after each .wav has played.  Example: Open N1MM, select DX or general log, set FT1000MP to SSB, press F1 for CQ, the rig is keyed and the .wav plays, press F1 again and the rig won't key.  Try F2-6 and nothing, no keying.  Reboot and it's the same all over again.  After this occurs, I open the Digital window, and I get the "Error opening Port 2"  message.  PSK doesn't work, MMTY keys but no macros are sent, Escape Stop button doesn't work, and the Escape key on the board has no effect. I quit N1MM and reboot and the Digital window appears, no error message, and all digital macros work fine.  I go to SSB and press F1, the rig is keyed, the .wav plays, and then I try a second time and the rig doesn't key.  I feel like Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day

I have none of the keying problems in Version 4, Logger32, MMTY alone, DigiPan, MMVARI, you name it.

I am using a FT1000MP with a Rigblaster M8, Windows 98SE, and an IBM 233 desktop computer.

I have tried all configurations in the Hardware menu and nothing changes what happens.  I have the Yaesu on Port 1 with DTR set to "Always On and RTS set to "Always On", also if I use "Handshake" for both DTR and RTS, it works fine in Version 4 but no change in Version 5.  I have Port 2 set as Digital with DTR "PT" and RTS "Always Off".  This works fine for all programs and Version 4.  It works fine for the digital modes in Version 5.
