Re: urlmon.dll & IE9 issue FIXED!!!!!!!!!
Yes.... that is the way to hide IE9.... but of course you should not allow full automatic updating but set it to “Download updates but let me choose to install them” so that IE10 doesn’t take your computer back into the ditch !!!!

That's really weird Joe. I suppose you know that IE9 was released on March 14, 2011 and Platform Preview 2 of IE10 was retested just 3 months later on June 29, 2011. I think MS is rushing to beat down the competition from Chrome and Firefox and in their haste are releasing a bunch of buggy junk. A replay of Windows ME here?

SC filter doesn't filter audio
After some experimenting and help from Dave, I have a filter button working
to give me a quick way to limit the SC display to needed entities spotted from NA. The button calls: (NAE='Y' or NAM='Y' or NAW='Y') and <bandfilter> and <modefilter> and <needfilter> What I see is just as I expect. What I hear, though, are audio announcements for needed ones spotted from anywhere. Is there a separate method of limiting the audio announcements, or have I missed a SQL step? It's not a major issue, but if there's a fix I'd like to stop the spots of needed ones spotted from outside NA unless I am displaying spots from outside NA. 73 de Chuck, WS1L -- =================== Chuck Chandler chandlerusm@gmail.com ===================

Win 7, 32 bit systems are also affected. The MS IE tech supportUpdates aren't the only place that IE9 can get messed up ... my Win7/64 system was a "clean" install with IE8. However, Windows *thinks* that IE9 is installed, I can't "update" to IE9 and can not "uninstall" IE9 <G>. Fortunately, the installed IE8 works with DXLab so I've hidden IE9 updates in Windows Update and will leave it that way until I go through one of the periodic format/reinstall cycles (probably when I replace the old ATA drives with faster devices). 73, ...

There is no feedback from your rotator controller to DXView. DXVIew simply sends the rotate command to the controller and assumes that it is accepted and carried out. If you want feedback, install the N1MM rotator control application or PstRotatorAZ. I use PstRotatorAZ from YO3DMU

OK - got it. Thanks. A couple of final Qs about this. 1) Is the communication between DXView and the rotator 'assumptive' or 'confirmatory'. What I mean by that is: does DXView either look for an ACK (acnoledgement signal) from the rotor control box, or request a confirmatory 'pointer readout' back from the rotor control boxes after it sends the command to the rotor to rotate ? 2) Is there any documented description of the communication protocol (the actual 'payload' data exchanges - [not the standard RS-232 protocol of start/stop parity etc] ) used between DXView and the various brands of RS-232 rotor control boxes ?

Re: Monitoring Data Exchanges of DXLab controlled devices ?

If you use the 180 reversal on your SteppIR controller you want DXView to continue pointing to the short path azimuth. The advantage of course is that the SteppIR can reverse direction in about 2 seconds while rotating the antenna 180 degrees can take quite a while. This is particularly advantages at times when you just want to quickly check if you might be getting a better signal on the long path. That doesn't happen often but when it does it can be the difference between working the station and not!

Your symptoms and instructions look good to me. As for preventing Windows from installing IE9 updates in the future I think you have it right, it's just a matter of directing the Update utility to hide that particular update. I did that in one other case where the Update utility wanted to insall an optional update for the AMD video board in my shack desktop machine. Installing that caused me no end of problems so I backed it out and instructed Windows not to show that update again. Note that this is most easily accomplished if you configure updates not to automatically install but rather to just notify you of updates and let you choose when or if to install them. I do this anyway because I don't want my machines rebooted in the middle of the night when my scheduled backups are running. 73, Rich - W3ZJ Dave AA6YQ wrote:

The update can be "hidden" in Windows Update (any version) by selecting the IE9 update and telling the program to "hide" it.
