Hi Andy and Pete: I had some values entered in the auto throttle servo option (which uses a comport), but I am not using this option in my setup. When I cleared the values, the second error message disappeared! Finally everything is working :D Again, thank you both for all your help! Regards, Herb

Hi Andy: I installed the FS 9.1 upgrade today and the second error message persists. If you have any other ideas, I would certainly appreciate it! Thanks, Herb

Hi Pete: Sorry about the errors I'm making in my posts. I'm not a computer expert as you can see, and I get somewhat nervous speaking to experts like yourself online to fix a software problem such as this. I corrected the system date, and the first error message ("incorrect version of FSUIPC or not FSUIPC") has disappeared :) However, when I push "Connect" in LWThrottle, I still get the second error message ("Unable to open comport. The system cannot find the file specified."). :( Here is the rest of the beginning of the FSUIPC log that I didn't include before: ***************FSUIPC, Version 3.96 by Pete Dowson****************** Running on Windows Version 5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 2 Verifying certificate for "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\MODULES\FSUIPC.DLL SUCCESS!

Hi Pete: Here's what appears to be my FSUIPC log. Hope this can provide an answer to my problem.

Hi Pete: When I open FS9 with the taskbar on top, FSUIPC is up there where it should be. I click on it and it looks fine, all the tabs work, and it says it is registered correctly after the Key was put in. Then I open LWThrottle, FS Control and the Connect command, I get "Incorrect version of FSUIPC, or not FSUIPC. Do you wish to continue?" If I click Yes, I get "unable to open CommPort. The system cannot find the file specified." I've deleted and reinstalled both FSUIPC and LWThrottle, and I keep getting the same error message! Not sure what else to do at this point :(

I am trying to set up LWThrottle with FS9 using FSUIPC, and it appears to be normally installed and registered, but whenever I issue the "connect" command to link the throttle and FS9, I get the error message "incorrect version of FSUIPC, or not FSUIPC." The VR Aircraft people and Pete Dowson say they have never seen this and offer no solution up to now. Has anyone had a problem like this with FSUIPC--any suggestions would be most welcome! Thanks, Herb

Hi Peter: Sorry about that. I registered FSUIPC correctly now with your key, but it apparently also wants me to register or re-register WideFS before it will work. I just bought FSUIPC to get my new LWThrottle to connect to my FS9 simulator. I bought WideFS in 2005 with Project Magenta software and up to now have not needed FSUIPC. I e-mailed PM support for a WideFS key, and Katy Pluta told me to e-mail you for a WideFS key. Can you provide me with one, or is there some other way to get my FSUIPC to work correctly? I can't get my new throttle to work until I get FSUIPC to work! Thanks, Herb

My FSUIPC3 Key was rejected as invalid--it is xxxxxxxxxxxx. I need a new key please. Thanks, Herb
