Question for Tassy jim I have recently downloaded the latest version of mmedit MK2 V5.1 onto XP desktop The previous one worked ok when I try to load a program the Upload window comes on and displays "sending documents and settings" Blocks : 64 X modem receive Error invalid syntax. I can connect and read the maximite ok I have removed the original one so cannot go back to that but I do have a copy on my Laptop your help would be appreciated Jeff |

Hi Just quick question. Do you have the MM Edit Syntax set for Maximite_V4.5? I've been caught a few times with the wrong setting. (Top line starting with File, on right hand side) Brian ChopperP |

I did reply in the other sub-forum I do think that Brian is right. You need to select the correct syntax file. I used to try and auto-detect devices but it got too unreliable (and slow) Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks for your replies .I really appreciate the fast response I noticed that micromite was shown but didn't know I had to change it to maximite You were right all going good now. Whilst I have your attention you may have an answer for the reason I cannot find a com port in mmedit. I switch to teraterm and its there ok so I switch back to mmedit and it appears in the list ok it then runs ok .This usually happens when I switch off the maximite for some reason Jeff |

If you turn off the Maximite while MMEdit is connect to it with MMChat, the port will stop working. There is nothing I can do about it. Sorry VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jeff Glad you got that problem sorted out. The Com ports with W10, MMEdit & the CMM are a PITA to put it mildly. I'm always losing it (in more ways that one). Not sure what the real answer is. I usually jig around with stuff until it reconnects. I often have to check Device Manager to make sure the port is still there & then use the re-connect feature in MM Edit. Unplugging & plugging back in sometimes helps. Obviously, you can't have MM Edit & Tera Term connected at the same time. I also have to remember not to leave the Chat Window open too long, as MM Edit locks up & I have to reboot it. Hopefully Jim may have more helpful solutions. Good luck. Brian Edit. Jim beat me too it. ChopperP |

@Jim Please don't think I was blaming MM Edit for my connection problems. I regularly lose my mouse as well. Brian ChopperP |

ok thanks for that. You describe exactly the problems I was getting . I have been leaving chat connected for long periods so will have to change . |
