I updated to the new Version 12.05 today.  One of the new additions in the 
update is:  Add ability to disable CW space sent on startup.


The update was immediately causing a startup error and I got the dreaded:  
"Server Busy this action cannot be completed" popup window.  Upon clicking in 
the window, Writelog would start, but the rig would stay keyed (Key down CW).   
I run Windows 7 Home Premium with legacy serial ports.  My keying device is an 
interface on one of those ports.


I created a new w3kb.ini file, using the procedure that creates the .ini from 
the Windows registry.  I noticed there was a new parameter in the Configuration 
section of the .ini file:  CwSpaceOnStartup=0


This is what was locking the rig key down on startup.


I solved the issue by changing the parameter to:  CwSpaceOnStartup=1


Writelog 12.05 now starts correctly, keying to send one short space tone only 
instead of locking down.
