I run WinDV (ver. 1.5.8-3) on my 64bit Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 Home and with my NWDR ThumbDV (original slower serial rate) with no operating issues or gray lines.  It is my primary windows PC with lots of other software installed on it.

I just checked, all of my machines are 64 bit, that could very well be the problem.

I have Firefox on all of them also but I wouldn't think that would matter.

I did try and load it on a XP machine - that didn't work.

I might just have to dedicate a new machine with windows 10 so I can get this working.

Thanks,

Interesting Mark.

I'm wondering if all three of your Windows 7 installations are 64bit? I've been running WinDV on a Windows 7 laptop (32bit) for a couple of years now, and other than the occasional program hang when there is a lot of activity (D-STAR) activity going on, it's fine. I've even been through a few WinDV application program version updates along the way too. Wondering if it's a 32bit vs. 64bit thing? I'll try to install the latest WinDV on my 32 bit Windows 10 (yes 32bit!) netbook, and see what happens.

I have 3 machines with windows 7 on them, they all have the grey/white diagonal lines.

I have uninstalled and installed numerous time on all the machines, at one time I though it was going to work but the lines came back.

I don't know what to try at this point, New machine with a different operating system?

Thanks,

I understand the support situation, thank you for your reply. I have attempted to get this going ion a Win 7 Enterprise laptop and I am having the exact same issues with being troubled with display issues. I have sent 5 communications to DutchStar and have zero replies, so now I have 2 different Windows versions experiencing the exact same issue with display issues keeping me from using the WinDV software.

I will look into the AmbeServer that someone else was suggesting but Buster is working and I do believe in the Keep it Simple S_____ method, so if it works why break it, right ?

I've gone roughly 1hour w/o the app crashing or having display issues but the "stop" button to end a transmission is failing to engage once a transmission has begun. Thet's just bad amateur radio practice and if it's the app failing then that's no good. It's a pretty app but I'm not sure it's a very reliable app at this time. Well, I hope it's been noticed and addressed. I have no idea if they are reading my submissions, I get no replies.

I do not want just complain or point out faults. I do appreciate the application and the effort that's been put into it. So, thank you for the app and I hope my donation goes toward making it a better app.

Well, that was short lived. It's back to it's old ways again. Unacceptable That I'd have to do a regedit and reconfigure software each time I want to use the software. WinDV needs work! To bad DutchStar does not reply to emails. I've sent 3 all with no reply.

Well, looks like I'm back up and running. I had to do the Regedit and remove the entire folder under Software and rerun the installer, I did I have do this two times for it to work but I now have WinDV running and working on my Win10 Surf e Pro2.

here is what I did:

Windows Key + r

type regedit 

click ok

click yes 

scroll to HKEY_CURRENT_USER

expand with arrow 

scroll to SOFTWARE

expand with arrow

scroll to MicroWalt Corporation

highlight, right click delete

rerun WinDV installer

once installed run WinDV in Win7 Compatability Mode

this was a frustrating battle but it's fixed and I'm happy.

Just for info, I have the baud rate set to 460800.  Any other suggestions?

Tnx

Problem is that 100% of the time the app loads all troubled with the lines and nothing is clickable, the app is 100% useless. Reboot, reinstall, re-insert, remove, re-add, regedit, nothing helps. The app does not allow me to interface with it at all.

Have the same problem here with WinDV.  Running Windows 10 and a Dell laptop.  I have re-starting WinDV, sometimes the problem is corrected, other times I have re-inserted the ThumbDV, and other times I have done both with no luck.  I have deleted and reinstalled WinDV, no change.

I do not know if this is related, but I have another problem with WinDV or the ThumbDV where the incoming signal is unreadable. The incoming audio breaks up, words are cut in half.
 
Thanks for reading

I am getting this symptom 100% of the time now, with or without the ThumbDV inserted. Removing and re-inserting does not cure the problem. I am going to try another Windows machine and see what happens. I'm up and running in my MacBook Air with the Buster app now.

I have a ThumbDV and I'm trying to use WinDV on my Surface Pro 2 running Win10 and each time the WinDV loads it is troubled with grey/white diagonal lines rendering the app useless. I have uninstalled the app, did a regedit to remove all mentions, reinstalled and it continues to be troubled. I have played with screen resolution and color pallet and I cannot get the app to run correctly. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this? My current work around is using Buster on my MacBook Air, it's working but I'd like to solve that issue I am having in Windows 10 Surface. I run ThumbTest and it's working just fine with regard to system recognition it's just the software is not working well and with 3 emails into DutchStar and no replies I am curious what others are seeing with WinDV 1.5.3 Beta3.
