Hi,

I have a problem with the latest version - the main com port connect button stay's grey. This did not happen on the last version and on this version its clickable on the tracking tab. I tried to install the previous version but no dice - always throws an error and even if I click ignore when I get to the now clickable connect button (after clicking the arrow button) the baud rate drop down has no values and won't let you type a number in. Would it be possible to have the option of "clean" install ? The serial port is USB and always worked before and works with multiple other programs - perhaps there is a property your now checking that perhaps does not need to be checked ? Thanks in advance - I find your GCS really handy to check the ap is working.

Click Windows Key + R (or Start, Run) and type devmgmt.msc and hit enter. Then expand Ports (COM & LPT). I suspect your USB to COM port is not being recognized.

 

The only "clean" install would be to close the GCS, click Windows Key + R and type regedit. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software and delete the branch HK_GCS. Then start the GCS again. All the settings will have been deleted.

Did more checking.

1) deleting the reg entry allowed the old (jan 14 2011) version to work.thank goodness i saved them.

2) the new version refuses to work with an ftdi adapter or the microchip one. both adapters work with realterm, hyper terminal and old version of gcs. let me be clear what i mean by that, the port name gets filled in correctly but the actual connect button is light gray and not click-able. going to the tracking tab shows the same port and the connect button is normal color and click-able. its not the adapters.

3) both adapters are seen by device manager and return to the same com port numbers they had over multiple reboots.

1) Don't worry about deleting past versions. Every single one of them is still available for download: http://code.google.com/p/happykillmore-gcs/downloads/list?can=1&...

2) The grayed button indicates either a saved data log is being played or Google Earth has not yet initialized. Do you have the Google Earth plug-in installed and are you online when you're trying to do this?

Hi Happy

 

I installed the latest HK*GCS on a older pc with Xp and service pack 3 , google earth , plugin , directX, .Net2 but the GCs just gives me the windows "send error report" msg .

 

Any idea ?

Comment by Paul Mather on March 19, 2011 at 5:11am

Does it give any details in the send error report?

 

Have you looked in the Event Logs for any details?

 

Does this computer have any serial ports? Take a look in hardware manager to see if any are listed.

Hi Happy

 

when i try and get the error report it never sends it , there is no erroe in the log file that has to do with GCS was one with anti virus but after taking antivirus of it still did the same with out error log. yes it has serial ports

 

PC spec is 1,2 GHz celoron ,1gb ram , XP system so it should be able to run it .
