PowerSDR Object Reference error

Postby va7qi » Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:15 am

Hello,
I decided to update Power SDR from 3.2.something to the latest 3.4.9.0. It installed OK, but when I start up I get an error:
"Object Reference not set to an instance of an Object at PowerSDR Console EventArgs e" plus a lengthy list of objects.

Windows was updated this evening and restart of Windows 10 and re-install of PowerSDR did not help. I also tried to delete the PowerSDR directory under OpenHPSDR, but I recall seeing another file a long time ago, which I could not locate today. Any suggestions what causes this error and what that other directory holding OpenSDR date may be?

Running Anan-10 and the latest PowerSDR works on another computer. I just want to have a dedicated computer for SDR even though the computer is subject to crashes when operating HF.

also deleted the settings folder? (Database, wisdom, etc)

Can you post a Screenshot from the error message?

Maybe this could also help.

Hi Erik,

Is it possible that the screen resolution settings are using something other than the default font size? As I recall the message you are seeing is one of many that shows up when the setting is moved from the default 100% setting. Not sure about Windows 10 but in Windows 7 this setting can be found in: Control Panel > Appearance and Pesonalization > Display.

EDIT: I see that Sigi also pointed to this in the post above. Easy enough to check and I think he is right!

Indeed, the resolution was the problem. It was set to 125% - trying to adjust to compensate for ageing eyesight :-)

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

My Display settings was set at 113% and I set it for 100% it finially loaded, wow lots of frustration.

Getting the Computer for the new 7000DLE MK3 when it finially shows up from HRO as reading it won't work yet with version 2 firmware and Thetis.
