7 Tr ublesh ting
7.1 Tr ublesh ting
When trying t run the installati n appears an err r message that this s ftware is n t
executable under the perating system XP/NT/2000.
The 5VCOM driver is ONLY required for Windows 95/98/Me. The other operating systems like
Windows XP/2000 have integrated this driver in the operating system and do not need it.
A message appears that the PG-USB driver is n t installed.
The 5VCOM driver is based on the standard Windows drivers for the PG-U B-cable / U B-
R 232-cable so that needs to be installed first. Plug in the PG-U B-cable /U B-R 232-converter
into a U B port and follow the installation instructions. (The driver is on the CD)
While c pying files appears an err r message that c pying is n t p ssible.
This can have several causes. Possibly you not have enough space left on the hard disk, the program
is already installed or the tray icon is still running.
After restarting the c mputer appears a message that the Settings.ini c uld n t be pened.
In this file in the installation directory of 5VCOM driver settings are saved. This file is missing (It
is created at program end), it is write protected or you do not have write permissions for the file.
After restarting the c mputer appears a message that the driver failed t l ad and the
pr gram ended.
There was no meaningful COM port to be found, so that the driver failed to load. tart a M DO
box and type in:
„debug <ENTER>“
„d 40:0<ENTER> „
It appears a hexdump of the BIO configuration area (where the existing COM ports are displayed)
Then enter "q < ENTER >" to exit the program:
Page 19 of 21 Handbook PG-U B

In the first 4 * 2 bytes in the system stands the COM ports are known:
F8 03 COM1
F8 02 COM2
E8 03 COM3
E8 02 COM4
00 00 Empty entry (here not available)
In our case there is simply no more free COM port. When an empty entry is present, then cant be
used only the required for this IRQ.
COM1 and COM3 uses both the same IRQ4
COM2 and COM4 uses both the same IRQ3
S5VCOM uses COM3 in the DOS b x, but my S5 s ftware can nly use COM1 r COM2 (eg.:
S5 V3.02)
Try to integrate in the system the from system existing COM 1/2 interface as a COM 3/4 (possibly
by a jumper).
My Wind ws s ftware can n t access the PG-USB-cable / USB-RS232-c nverter, alth ugh this
is set in the c ntr l panel c rrectly and it w rked bef re. It appears the err r message that the
COM p rt is already ccpied r is n t accessible.
The 5VCOM driver opens this COM port to communicate about even if no M DO box is open.
The Windows program would now like to open the same COM port. This fails.
Quit the 5VCOM program (tray icon), thereafter an access from Windows is possible here, but
from a M DO box is not. By restarting the program out from the startup folder, then can be
worked under M DO again. Access under Windows and under M DO exclude each other!
It still w rks n t, th ugh the driver is l aded and the tray ic n appears.
Double click the tray icon and select from the system menu "Information about ..."
