Re: JTAlert 2.50.2 About doesn't appear, no comm from WSJT-X
Hi Laurie, it was the runtime. I had the wrong version installed (x86 vs x64). It's working now. I thought it was an x86 box (hey programs are in the x86 folder), but it is 64 bit, so anyway, all fixed. Tnx for the help, Gary

Re: What happened to Ignore callsign option
I believe that was a default setting before. I keep forgetting about the "gear" in the Callsigns window after I initially set thing up. Would be nice to see that temporary ignore (session) as a default again.
Once I made those selections, all is back to before 2.50 operations, I think. Maybe I've just not needed something that was there before. -- 73's George - WB5JJJ Hamshack Holine #4969

What have I missed?The About window display is controlled by the JTAlertV2.Manager.exe process. If the process is not running or is continually stopping and restarting than the About window will not show and you will not be able to establish UDP comms with WSJT-X. What does TaskManager show for the JTAlertV2.Manager process? Is it running or stopping & restarting. Typical causes of the Manager not running is PC protection software interference or the incorrect NET runtime installed, usually the non-desktop version rather than the required "Desktop Runtime" version.

Re: JTAlert 2.50.2 About doesn't appear, no comm from WSJT-X
After a few minutes an About box did finally appear with "UDP Communications Failure" message. The port and IP match what is set up in WSJT-X.

This morning JTAlert which had been running previously with no problems on Win 10 Pro 64 bit, would attempt to load but would not run. I've removed and reinstalled both versions online. Downloaded and installed both versions of .NET , reset the UDP address in WSJT-X I've made sure the software is "TRUSTED" by the security software... Forty years of software and computer programming experience and NO JOY after five hours of reboots and reinstalls... Is there an error message shown? If so, post an image of the offending window, but don't include your entire desktop, just the error window is enough. In my experience, when JTAlert stops working when it previously behaved correctly, without any change to the program, the usual suspect is the PC Protection software interfering. Under Win10, often a PC restart is enough to restore application functionality or to correct changed behavior. This is not limited to JTAlert but can be the fix for unrelated applications that start to misbehave. As for the NET reinstall, Make sure you're installing the "Desktop Runtime", not the non-Desktop Runtime. de Laurie VK3AMA

Thanks to all for the assistance and offers of support.

It must have also modified some other settings which weren't readily apparent. In any event the JTAlert single-click interaction with WSJT-X now functions properly. Tnx for the update Bob. Unfortunately I can't offer any informed advice on why Zone Alarm was behaving as it was or on the fix. I haven't used it for at least a decade, probably more. de Laurie VK3AMA

I am unsure about getting .Net5 on to a W7 Home Premium computer. There is no harm in installing the NET 5 Desktop Runtime, even if your version of JTAlert doesn't use it. If it installs correctly without showing an error you can be reasonably confident that you can run the new 2.50.x JTAlert. If things go pear-shaped, it is easy to downgrade JTAlert, simply run the installer for the old version. Your settings are save and the config file is compatible between the old and new versions. de Laurie VK3AMA

Tnx Carey. I can confirm the defect, and am seeing it here repeatedly. It went unnoticed as I am currently non-active using WSJT-X/JTAlert, haven't been for a couple of years! Since this is reproducible in my tests, it should be painless, I hope, to identify the cause and produce a fix in time for the next public release. de Laurie VK3AMA

How can I prevent message window losing focus while typing a message? Alerts or other window updates cause focus to be lost and typing suspended even though text cursor still blinking. Loses word and letters in the message. If the Messaging window is losing focus it will be because another window is taking focus. You need to identify the offending window and take corrective action to prevent it being focused. If it is the WSJT-X window becoming focused, it is likely coming from the JTAlert "To Top" settings. You will need to modify or disable the setting. See the "Applications -> WSJT-X / JTDX" section of the main JTAlert window Settings (F2)  de Laurie VK3AMA

event log errorsOM, At this time, yours is the only report of this. My online searches have not revealed anything significant that identifies the cause. My only suggestion at this time is to ensure your PC has been restarted, to ensure that any pending updates have been applied and to get Windows back to a normal state. An uninstall of the NET 5.0.x Desktop Runtime followed by a new install wont hurt and takes but a couple of minutes. Sorry, that's the limit of the advice I can offer at this time. de Laurie VK3AMA
