I surely appreciate Gary and Eric's attempt to help but no progress yet.
First the 'Continuously Record Audio to file' button was not checked. No
file like 'AudioRecording' could be found, so per instructions added
"C:\WriteLog file\Programs\ham\AudioRecording"
since this is where the ini said the location was. Putting in that 'ham'
makes me nervous since I don't know why. Anyway I still get the same 'can't
record' message of course.
Now when I first went to WriteLog I was even more PC hostile and dense than
now, and I installed it right on the C-drive. I don't remember there being
any 'ham' folder back then like I see must be in common use now. I have had
a couple of cases where I could not successfully install a contest, the PVRC
Reunion being one I remember. Should I 'erase and start over'??
