    Antivirus is what i thinked, so the first time i closed avast and no change.
    After my new fresh instal of windows, i do not instaled avast, i stayed with the microsoft antivirus . And all worked great during 5 days, when bugs come back , i tried to stop the antivirus too and no change ..
    What i instaled during those 5 days ? :
    Simtools, simhub, steam, simcommander, pcars 2, dirt 2 that's all .
    It works thuesday, i close the computer, i open it yesterday and it works 1 time when i use output testing, after that : 2 short beep .

    If you disable simhub and simcommander do you still get the issue, as it may be a conflict between apps.

    You could also check the Windows logs for any disconnects.

    Yeah good idea ! I disable simhub and it works ! For the moment :thumbs
    So i put a key to simhub like i see on an another thread here : exclude simtools port com .
    I try pcars2 with both app and it works . I hope that's only that . I don't know why after 2 or 3 years it gone wrong one day .

    Thanks my friends ! hug:
