Add to the list, a weird error message which I'm led to believe may have 
something to do with soundboard compatibility and the microham MK2R+.

Also,  in similar vain the available recording codecs is a lot less under 
Windows 7 than my old XP machine (not entirely sure if that's a W7 or Writelog 
issue, but a local also using 11.04A has the same problem on his W7 64bit PC).

Roll on Writelog 12.xx
