Yes, this has been reported by several people here on the reflector. I

experience this once in a while when I'm stressing the software with my

1. CLOSE WRITELOG.

I am just trying to get mmtty plug-in to work the same as it
has for me in 11.08.
Upgrading to 11.10G should require nothing unless you incur the freezing
problem. MMTTY with the MMTTY Plug-In will continue to work without
change.
Make sure 'MMTTY' is checked on the Rttyrite TNC menu. Do not use the
XMMT.ocx menu choice if you want to use the MMTTY Plug-In.
This morning, I uninstalled 11.08 again (after making a
backup) because it went in the wrong directory yesterday.
I then installed 11.10 in c:\HamPrograms\Writelog\ I deleted
the [rttyrite] and [rttyrite2] sections from the writelog.ini
in ...virtualStore... and saved it.
I then started writelog and opened a rttyrite window. Then
selected mmtty. Had to point to the proper directory (I did
not reinstall mmtty).
The rtty control panel for mmtty opened.
But as soon as I try to go to TNC Setup to adjust the mmtty
appearance, rttyrite freezes!
When I also go to the Stereo Soundboard AFSK option, rttyrite
freezes (that was the original problem I had).
And somewhere along the line I had to reinstall the mmtty
plugin because I was getting errors messages about "failed to
create custom ... tnc header"
Also I have been unable to save the size and location of the
rttyrite window using the Save Configuration option.
I deleted the writelog.ini in ...virtualStore... to let
writelog build a new one. But that did not solve the problem.
So basically I can not get back to the configuration of mmtty
that I had with 11.08.
Any ideas???? Meanwhile I have regressed back to writelog 11.08
I assume your OS is Vista or later since you mention VirtualStore. If I
understand the description of your actions and problems, it sounds like
you
did not delete the [Rttyrite...] sections in writelog.ini after you got
the
freeze. I understand you deleted the entire writelog.ini. That's not the
same thing, so please try the instructions above when you encounter the
freeze. Your goal, after a freeze, is to edit the working writelog.ini
file, not delete it. Deleting it probably means that WriteLog reverts to
initializing with the default writelog.ini file stored in Windows in an
earlier installation.
I'm also a bit nervous about multiple installations of WriteLog in
different
directories. I don't know how the Registry and VirtualStore behave in
that
case. If it were me, I'd uninstall all of them and only have one on the
computer at a time.
Someone commented re: cleaning the registry values. Is that necessary?
I haven't heard this and I would relegate this to a last resort and only
if
you get clear instructions from someone really understands what to do.
For
me, the only person I'd trust is W5XD.

ED, et al
Please notice that I did follow the advice being given and removed the
[rttyrite...] sections in the writelog.ini in the virtual store
location. That did not help. So then I removed the entire writelog.ini
to let writelog rebuild. That did not work either!
This is a Windows 7 Pro platform.
In the two attempts I have made, I have restarted writelog many times
and each time I open a mmtty-plug-in window and then try to either
change the TNC settings from rttyrite or try to close the mmtty window
by changing tnc to stereo soundboard AFSK rttyrite freezes requiring
Task Manager to kill it. The mmtty window will then close ok.
So it is more than the first time writelog is started after an install.
This was a full install (over writelog 11.08) as my key had expired. So
I don't know what happens with just an upgrade.
One full install was to the ...Program Files... location and one was to
my c:\HamPrograms directory.
What other tests can I do to help locate this issue?
In rereading our messages carefully, I do see a slight difference in
what I did vs what you said. I believe I deleted the [rtty...] sections
before starting writelog and rttyrite - not after the first freeze and
kill process step.
I do not have multiple versions of writelog in different directories - I
did uninstall when I want to put writelog back where I wanted in
c:\HamPrograms.
Thanks to everyone who is trying to sort this out.

Thanks for the clarification, Jerry. That answers all my questions about
your configuration and process. I see nothing wrong. I want to do some
re-testing and see if I can reproduce what you and others are reporting.

Checking XMMT.ocx enables "TNCs" supported by the XMMT.ocx interface.
Once you have done that you must select "Configure TNC" to set the
path to the exe you prefer - either MMTTY or 2Tone.

I had the same problem with my setup. You will need to remove the
[Rttyrite] and [Rttyrite2] sections from your Writelog.INI file in order
to proceed with your setup. Then pick the XMMT.ocx from the TU Type Drop
Down menu instead of MMTTY.

I'm setting here copying some RTTY station on 20 meters. I am seeing a
hesitation in the print. WL is printing letters at 2 or 3 or 4 letters
at a time. I tried this with just MMTTY and N1MM and the print is fine.
I also tried this with Select BPS on and Off. No difference.
I checked my CPU usage it is mostly on 0
My computer is and Intel i5 3570k processor, 8 GB of RAM. SSD hard Drive.

I am totally frustrated, as I guess others may well be also. I keep
getting
one of those
Windows error messages that says the program needs to shut down and asks
if
I want
to send a report to MS or not. I usually choose NOT.
Don mentioned there is a section on his web site that shows how to setup
2Tone. I am
not sure if it's finished or not. I know Don has a life in addition to
2Tone. I am
almost ready to forget 2Tone and just stick with MMTTY.
I deleted the [RTTYRITE] and [RTTYRITE2] Sections in Writelog.ini. In the
new
version I find a [RTTYRITE] section but no [RTTYRITE2] section. I know
this
is
probably an error on my part, but I am willing to accept any help that
anybody can
provide. I'm running Windows XP/SP3.
My WriteLog Program is in C:\Program Files\Writelog folder. MMTTY has
been
reinstalled and is in a C:\MMTTY folder and 2Tone is in a C:\2Tone folder.
Writelog and MMTTY are working together just fine, even after I
reinstalled
MMTTY in the new C:\MMTTY folder.
I cannot get 2Tone to bring up a window showing the RX & TX graphs, etc.
My transceiver is a Yaesu FT-950 and I am also using a SignaLink USB
interface,
which has been working just fine. So if assistance could come from one of
you
guys who has a similar setup, I'm sure my problem would get resolved
quickly. I
had hoped I wouldn't have to send a "me too" e-mail (as another user
called
it),
but now feel the need.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & 73,
Dick - w0raa
