Should add it was saying "Can't find Com Port" and then locking up for about a minute before saying "I/O Error" although I have no idea what that means. Anyway working fine now its reinstalled the drivers.
Hey Brenda,
Does calling me an idiot assuage your inability to explain non-existent or inconsistent Uniden quality control on a $600.00 item?
If so, riddle me this Brenda.....
Who's the idiot, the person with $500.00 large in his pocket or the folks dropping 5 or 6 hundred dollars
to be beta testers for Uniden?
Also, I find it odd that anyone with comments negative to Uniden are addressed by administrators, yet calling someone an IDIOT, something SURELY prohibited in the forum rules is allowed to stand.
Where are the suspensions for that type of behavior?
My therory is this issue has more to do more with windows, than the 436. The only thing that changed on my laptop from 3 weeks ago to now is a windows update, which occurs automatically about once a month.

What does owning a scanner have to do with being called a degrading name directly by another member, and having that infraction completely ignored by the moderators?
Bama,
So, based on your responses, It is OK for a member to break the rules and call me a degrading name directly and publicly, but when I respond with a hypothetical "semantic" for her to consider, you accuse me of calling everyone in the forums the same name?
So, if we assume you are correct, based on what you claim I did, you than agree with my premise and as such make my point? And as a result, you also agree with me that folks plunking down all that dough to be Beta Testers for Uniden are Idiots?
N2MWE....
"Why comment on something you don't own?"
Since when does one have to own a particular item in order to comment on these boards?

I had hoped it was something else. I don't know. After I posted last night both Von's programs stopped working entirely. The SS program had always worked before but even uninstalling and re-installing older versions didn't help.
The thing is the scanner, mass storage, serial, cable, usb and power to scanner all work fine still. Just the programs stopped working with it.
Those scanner related things have always worked fine as KD7 said.
Don't know what to make of it now.
KevinC,
Quite frankly, since becoming a member in 2004, I've never been called a name by another member in these forums, and many times I've taken the divergent viewpoint. Members and I always agreed to disagree in many cases, and engage in open debate, if not sometimes spirited.
So, I've never had to report anyone, and I do not know how to do so...
With all due respect, I assumed since moderators are obviously reading these posts, someone would take note of the infraction, as you've obviously taken note of my recent discourse on the matter, and take appropriate action.
I did not realize a formal reported complaint was required to curb public bashing and name calling.
As for Bama's attempt to make the victim guilty here, we'll just chalk that up to the Kool Aid...
To get back on topic, Ghstwolf have you tried the ARC536 beta or demo? I had trouble with it disconnecting, using the other program to view the scanner info on the computer, but I've been using the virtual control in ARC536 continuously for the last 3 days with no problem with it switching to mass storage mode.
