I need advice o how to stop multiple versions of the program being generated.. Have installed latest software but still had a rogue version trying to take over.. Seems to be self generating.
I am concerned about your statement "I just also tried entering your text in the 'optional' box but it rejects this saying it cannot find the VARA-HF/FM exe file."
You do not "type" in the VARA path but you click in that box and a windows file explorer window opens up and you navigate to your VARA.exe file.
GM Irad. Many tnx to your Good Self and our fellow OPs who have responded.
I have managed to take screen shots as H/W and you will see that my VARA entry matches yours. In fact, it has always done so. I just also tried entering your text in the 'optional' box
but it rejects this saying it cannot find the VARA-HF/FM exe file.
Irad, once I get in the doom loop of inoperative dups, the only solution is to close the program, go thru the entire PC to delete every VARA file ( it will NOT Uninstall) and then restart in order to be sure it is clean.
I have done multiple reinstallations now and all have your correct address in VARA.
I may add, that this problem is not present in my Digipan nor in the FT8 thing..both of which are very stable.
VarAC is such a delightful program and is my answer to failing faculties BUT I am spending more time on the PC than on the air!
DX is up again after the storm and I urgently need to be told which box to tick or untick....HI!
You set the VARA modem path as the VarAC.exe isntead to the modem So when you start VarAC, it tries to start the modem as well but you looped it back to itself so it start itself in a loop.
Make sure you set this to VARA and not VarAC.
You can edit it in the VarAC.ini file directly if you are now locked in an enless loop that you can't get out of.
Thanks for advice. Tried that by revising the present text to your version. Pressed the button and it just takes me to another window/file name ..?.exe?
The Settings window that you show was same for my earlier versions but the new one looks quite different... actually very nice. So, I have found 'Rig' then moved across to 'Vara' and typed in your text and figures.
BTW..no idea how to do screen shot. to send in. Never had to do so although licenced for over 70 years now....definitely a 'Old Timer these days....HI!
DON'T use my path unless that is exactly what you are using. What was the original path set to in there?? A screenshot would be extremely, extremely helpful to be able to understand what is going on, not really following why you said above.
On Win11. press the WIN key TOGETHER WITH THE SHIFT KEy and while HOLDING THEM DOWN, press the S key
A very small window will open at the top of your screen. Forgetting the X, click on the one next to the X, or the one next to that one.
That will copy EITHER the WHOLE VISIBLE SCREEN to the Clipboard, OR the window that has the FOCUS. ( and not the whole screen).
JUST EXPERIMENT... You CANNOT BREAK ANYTHING. One you have what you "clipped" on the Clipboard, you can use PASTE to PASTE IT into whatever you want, be it a msg you are writing here, or a document you are working on. Again..... you cannot break ANYTHING, go and have a play.. YOU GET PASTE TO CLICK YOUR >RIGHT< MOUSE BUTTON and from the menu that opens when you do that? simply select PASTE.
Victor.... Iam about 80. If I can do it.... SO CAN YOU !!!! <SMILE>.
The built in Windows Snipping tool makes it super easy to take a screenshot and save it as a JPG. From the windows search bar just type Snip. I have the tool shortcutted to my desktop as I use it so frequently.
As always, please send a screenshot of your VarAC settings, specifically the VARA tab in VarAC.
And whatever you do, make 100% sure that you followed instructions and entered the path to VARA.exe in the place below and NOT the path to VarAC,exe That would be bad.
