PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I seem to have stumbled onto something unique and I need your help.

First, I am running PowerSDR v2.8.0.152 on a Windows 7 64 bit Pro computer. Firmware version is 2.1.412.

This concerns the box on the left of the screen that holds the ID Timer, Date and Time, Space Weather, CPU usage, Temp and Voltage. The ID Timer and Date and Time appear to work, but the rest do not. As the screen is loading at initial start up, the headers for CPU %, Temp c and volts load correctly. However, when the load finishes, CPU is gone, Temp may be either in C with 301 loaded or F with 574 loaded or just say click. Volts can be click or 0.0. Hitting click does nothing. Space weather reads all "0" and clicking it turns if off and it will not reappear. Local antenna weather is blank, but I do not remember using it so I can not be definitive about it.

I use the CPU, Temp and Voltage functions a lot and the last time I remember them working was probably version 149 if not 132. I was running 149 when I noticed the problem and I immediately updated to 152. No help.

I just did a complete clean install of 151. I uninstalled my current 152 and everything that said Flex. I then deleted all the directories I could find that referred to Flex. I renamed the FlexRadio Systems directory under Roaming to force it to build a new one. I even deleted the one registry entry I could find. Then I downloaded the full installer for 151 and reloaded. The problem is still there and the software reports it is version 152 and it appears to be a clean installation.

I then restored to old 'Roaming' directory to restore my settings. Everything appears to work except the contents of that box.

Sorry, but I am fresh out of brilliant ideas. I did install a PCIe RAID controller a while back, but removed it to check the problem. No change and the controller has been reinstalled.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing else has changed except Windows Updates which are up to date. Yes, I understand the push to upgrade to Windows 10 and I will not be doing it.

I have screen shots of the box in various stages if that would be of any help.

Thanks to all and good luck

if you see strange values for either the CPU% or the Temp and Volt, go to my webpage and click on the "CPU Issues" Link. Open the panel and there is a section just for this case.
