Kevin, hoping that was not aimed at me. If it was please point me to a solution I have not tried yet.
It is in DSD, the copy has something in it saying the RTL is in use already. I have tried all solutions and no good. I am asking for help. At no point did I mean to be a *******. Also I emailed the DSD team and asked or new files multiple times ans still no responce a week and a half later. Even said I will pay again and no response. It's 25 bucks, no big deal. Just like the original post that I hijacked with a lack of support. Please I will start over for 25 bucks. So for all the people saying it is not my thread, I am joining the original that there is no support when emailing them with my registered email.
Guessing will just have to order it again, like I said been using for years just fine. I have tried everything to the point of deleting and reistalling my working back up, changing the serial number on the RTL playing with Bat and CFG files, nothing works. Maybe a bad backup? I don't know that is why I am asking. Instead I get slammed. Before all you hollier than though respond, maybe think it out. I am being nice. Just asking for suggestions and have tried all. Could be a problem with my backup. I am not blaming anyone. but to make sure we stay on topic, the DSD team has not responded. I even offered to pay again to start over fresh
Paying again to start over fresh won't do anything you can't already do. There's no difference in files between what you previously paid for and what you will pay for by paying again.
Grab any user modifiable files (frequencies, groups, etc) put them somewhere than delete your entire DSDPlus directory and start again would be the best option

But I would need dsd to send me new files to do that, otherwise I am working with the broken ones. I do not have a working machine now,to copy the files from got them from my decades old AMD APU all in one. I do have working machines but my copy always said RTL is in use. Really beginning to think windows is the prblem and not releasing thr RTL for other apps. I have tried to install zadig every way possible. beginng to think maybe the laptop with the I7 7700 with VPro may be the problem. I have had problems with a few minis running this chip. legit free to air takes minutes to load. Need to get into the bios and see if I can turn the Vpro off. It should not matter, but DSD is using a internal TCP
Now to add to the confusion, just pulled a Lenovo mini I5 6600 out copied the dsd file to it and it works fine. my head is going to exlode. time to reinstall windows On the I7 laptop and see if it wil work. brand new load, so not expecting it to work. But hell I have seen stranger in windows.
Just a thought. The laptop I decided to install windows minus a internet connection. So it just comes up owner no log in, no email reference. I think this might be the fix. too late to reload it tonight, but since I pulled one out registered to me installed the backup and works fine it may be the answer. I will follow up tomorrow .

As I understand it, the problem is usually caused by using Zadig to install the WinUSB driver for both the SDR's "radio" and for its IR remote control.
When running Zadig, under Options, make sure to select "List All Devices"
and unselect "Ignore Hubs or Composite Parents".
Then choose the Composite Parent (for the SDR device) and install the driver.
Additionally, when the "already in use" error is seen (and is due to installing the WinUSB driver for the IR control), the SDR can be accessed by bumping the device number up by one, so if FMP24 -i1 is giving that error, use FMP24 -i2 instead. You can also use FMP24 -i0 (use first available SDR)
FMP24 -h
...
Options:
-i0 Use first available RTL SDR device [-i0]
-i<num> Use RTL SDR device specified by <num> (1-255)
-i"<ser>" Use RTL SDR device with specified serial number string
When dealing with borked device numbers, FMP24 -i"serial string" is probably the most reliable way to fire up and use the correct dongle. Definitely useful when you have more than one RTL SDR dongle plugged in.
If you're using the supplied batch files, like FMP24-CC.bat, just edit with notepad and change the value after -i to what works. I use -i0, which should always find an unused/available RTL SDR and grab it.
Even if that's the case, they should still respond to messages regarding it, and at least let you know if that's what happened or not. Not quite sure what it is with people who develop projects with the initials dsd and not wanting to respond to people.In this case, should be a given considering money was actually spent.

Wut?
Just reapting a post, do you guy's ever look back a couple of posts?
Took a day of yesterday from DSD. Thank you Slicewizard, your solution worked. Simple fix -i0 fixed it. This old mind ain't what it used to be. Something so simple as actually saving the FMP24CC.bat makes a difference. Guess I read the notes and you can edit it while running. Senior moment, and again I was very frustrated the other night.

If you are having a problem or question you will be far better off starting a new thread, and actually describing what you need help with.
I faced a similair issue moving 2x RTLSDR sticks from one PC to another. Turns out for whatever reason the two sticks come up and work under i3/i4, where they were i1/i2 on the original comp. Go figure. Don't know what the pc thinks the first two device are, don't really care.
