Hi All,
If you install on a brand new computer (laptop) {XP-VISTA-W7} without any other software installed you probably want have any problem. 
Installation of the software only worked perfect on my VISTA 64bit (english) testcomputer but not on my VISTA 32bit (english) hamradio-computer, nor my eeepc with XP(english) and also not  (unsolved) on my Laptop with VISTA 32bit(dutch) {it even does not start the program}.

PC1 Vista 64bit = software ok and comports ok (fresh computer)
PC2 Vista 32bit = software ok but comports NOT ok (virtual ports installed)
PC3 XP Home = software ok but comports NOT ok (USB to serial installed)
LAPTOP Vista 32bit software NOT ok but comports ok (unsolved software conflict)

Solution in 99% of the cases where the comports are not OK
is to uninstall all virtual comports (VSPE-VSPD-MICROHAM -etc)
or if you have USB to serials connected uninstall them also.
After this reinstall PC CLIENT and now com0-1-2 will be installed ok
Reason is because the software doesnt recognize virtual comports and gives them
portnumbers that allready excist.
Reboot and check again, if all is ok you can reinstall virtual ports or USB to Serial
converters again with higher portnumbers.

Didnt found a solution yet for the sotware crash on my laptop but probaly caused by other software.
