Don and the group,
I get this far more now under Win7 than I ever did under XP.
The issue is that it is sporadic, and doesn't always appear. If it came up
every time, then it would be easier to solve.
I have a seperate installation of MMTTY for the sole use of Writelog, as
this allowed me to make specific changes I use when contesting only.
When it first started under WinXP, I closed Writelog, opened the WL-specific
MMTTY folder, and deleted USERPARA.INI and let it build a new version.
On starting WL, I got the same error immediately, so decided to leave it
alone.
The next time I started it, it did not appear, so I thought I had cured it.
Back it came, sporadically, so then I knew I had not cured the problem at
all.
When I started with my new Win7 machine, I installed everything from
scratch, and was very careful to create a seperate installation of MMTTY,
and then directed WL to use only that.
Now, whatever I try, I get the error whenever I start a RTTY contest. I've
tried deleting the file, letting MMTTY create a new one, and all the various
things I can think of, but none has stopped that error appearing.
It does not stop MMTTY from starting under WL, so it is not a major issue,
just an annoyance.
But, I do wonder if it is to do with the way things get started under WL.
Could it be that MMTTY is a little slow in loading, so WL doesn't see
whatever it needs to see, and thus calls out an error?
Maybe this is one for Steve N9OH to look at sometime in the future?
73 all

This is an error that we've seen before. I've even had it here for a while
but it went away and I don't' remember why it went away
or what I did to get it to go away. It has something to do with the
USERPARA.INI file which MMTTY uses to set its parameters. The
error seems harmless but it is a nuisance.
I investigated this error a couple of times by doing a search of the
WriteLog reflector archives to see what others have done but
could not find a definitive fix.
As Joe, W4TV, said it may be due to a missing or corrupted USERPARA.INI
file. I tend to believe it's the latter because if I remove
USERPARA.INI and then try to open MMTTY within WriteLog I get a different
error that says "RTTYRITE MFC Application has encountered
a problem and needs to close). When this happens, a new USERPARA.INI file
is created but it must be corrupted because I get the
same error when reopening WriteLog with MMTTY.
When using the MMTTY plug-in for WriteLog, make sure it points to a
directory where there has been a full install of MMTTY (and not
just MMTTY.EXE by itself). You can do this by opening writelog.ini and
looking in the [Rttyrite] section for a line that says:
MMTTY_LOCATION=C:\Program Files\MMTTY (this assumes a full install has been
done at C:\Program Files\MMTTY)
I suggest go into the MMTTY directory, find USERPARA.INI and rename it to
something else like USERPARA_old.INI. Then open MMTTY
stand-alone (not WriteLog). It will create a new USERPARA.INI file. Then
open WriteLog and see if the error comes up again.
Please post your findings on the reflector. I'd like to nail this one down.
Other options include uninstalling MMTTY and reinstalling (preferably the
latest version 1.66G) and uninstalling the MMTTY plug-in
for WriteLog and reinstalling but I don't know this is necessary. It's a
good idea to reboot after reinstalling the MMTTY plug-in
for WriteLog if you do so.

Subject: [WriteLog] Error Message when Writelog 10.77H is started up
Hi
I have a strange message come up when I run Writelog 10.77 under WIN 7, 64
bit. I think it is coming up with the computer runs
MMTTY. I am getting ready for the fall contest period and would like to see
if anybody else has this problem and if it will affect
the logging for the contests coming up.
The error message is in a little box head the caption, "ERROR MSG" and the
following message "!UserPara. INI" followed by several
funny characters. I think this is appearing when MMTTY is loading.
Once I click OK in the error message, Writelog come up with MMTTY and all
seems ok. I would like to get rid of the ERROR MSG but
don't know where to begin. HELP!
Don
