In a situation like this with any program, not just WriteLog, I would
go to control panel and uninstall the com and lpt ports, then reboot.
Windows will find them again and with luck, things will be ok. WinXP
should load the drivers automatically, but with Win98 you may have to
install them manually. Either way, you will have a clean install of
your ports. If the problem persists, I would uninstall and reinstall
WriteLog. Be sure to save all your .wl files to a different directory
so you can put them back.
I think this approach is better than trying to poke around and find
what changed and fix it, since if this part of the system or program
is munged, there may be others too. Best to start clean.
Note: Don't just "disable" the ports, actually uninstall them.
